Thanks Leon

I absolutely agree.  I hand it to the IPC/BC community.  They put in the time and effort for what is, for them, an important issue.  But as you say, it is only a starting point.  It is always easier to think things through when someone has already put pen to paper - so to speak.  And in all fairness to them, they did announce their model publicly and organised webinars to talk through their viewpoint. So if we don’t respond, and their model is adopted, we really have ourselves to blame.  So I am happy that Alan will ask staff to set up a wiki so we can work through what we want to say.

Indeed, they recently held a webinar on the model – at the usually impossible time for Australia. They have also set up a mailing list on the issue and the documents they used for the webinar are supposed to be available for those on the mailing list. (I haven’t seen them as yet)

The NCSG were not consulted and are developing their response to the accreditation model.  My understanding is that the Registries/Registrars also did not provide input into that model. We should also comment - either through a Google Doc or on the wiki, but - in a very short space of time - we should be developing at least some response to the IPC/BC proposal. No response to their model could otherwise be taken as tacit community consent to its proposals.

Under basic data protection law, personal information can only be collected for specified and legitimate purposes of the data collector  (ICANN and registrars) and not further processed in ways inconsistent  with the legitimate purpose(s).  The ALAC has suggested that feedback from the European DPAs will assist in determining the purposes consistent with ICANN and the Registries purpose in collection of that data. The purpose suggested in the Interim Model is not as broad as suggested by this Access Model and, in my view, preferable. (See Annex A, Access Model).
>>>> 
>>>>  The Access Model proposed suggests that, once parties are accredited, they would gain access to all the Whois Information.  In my view, any access to personal information should be in limited circumstances only -  that blanket access not be given.  In a law enforcement context, search warrants generally need some kind of judicial sanction, based on apprehension of possible criminality, before premises can be searched and/or persons apprehended. While an access request test probably would not be quite that stringent, I could not support access seekers being given blanket permission to access personal information generally; there should be a requirement for reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful or harmful action in specific circumstances (carefully defined) before access given.
