  Call for RSVPs | Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Working
Group Webinar | 28 May 2015 at 14:00 UTC

19 May 2015
 Please RSVP to nathalie.peregrine at icann.org. Remote participation details
will be sent the week of 25 May 2015.

Please join the interim co-chairs of the Privacy & Proxy Services
Accreditation Issues Working Group for a one-hour webinar on Thursday 28
May 2015 at 1400 UTC, to hear about the preliminary recommendations that
have now been published for public comment by the Working Group.

This Working Group (WG) was chartered
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/raa-pp-charter-22oct13-en.pdf> [PDF, 463
KB] by the GNSO Council in October 2013 to conduct a Policy Development
Process (PDP) with the aim of developing policy recommendations to guide
ICANN's implementation of an Accreditation Program for privacy and proxy
service providers. The topic of privacy and proxy registrations had been
identified upon the conclusion of ICANN's negotiations with the Registrars
Stakeholder Group for a new Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) as an
issue that remained unresolved and that would be suited for a PDP. The 2013
RAA
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en>
contains
an interim Specification on Privacy & Proxy Registrations
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#privacy-proxy>
that
is due to expire on 1 January 2017.

The WG's Initial Report, containing a number of detailed preliminary
recommendations and several open questions for which it is seeking
community input, was published for public comment on 5 May 2015. The
announcement, forum for submitting comments, and a copy of the WG's Initial
Report can be found here:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ppsai-initial-2015-05-05-en. The WG's
preliminary recommendations include: (i) requiring that accredited
providers expressly include certain mandatory provisions in their customer
terms of service; (ii) an obligation to relay initial electronic requests
seeking to contact a customer; (iii) an illustrative framework for the
handling of requests from trademark and copyright owners for the disclosure
of customer contact information; and (iv) steps regarding provider
de-accreditation. Open questions on which the WG has yet to reach consensus
include the escalation of relay requests, how to deal with disclosure
requests received from law enforcement and other third parties other than
intellectual property rights-holders, and whether domain names associated
with online financial transactions should be able to use privacy or proxy
registrations.

This webinar will highlight the WG's preliminary recommendations and open
questions, including an opportunity to ask questions of the interim
co-chairs. All are welcome; please reply to nathalie.peregrine at icann.org if
you wish to attend and to receive details about logging on to the webinar.
