[ALAC] URGENT: DRAFT ALAC Statement on the EPDP Phase 1 Final Report

[Bastiaan Goslings]

Thanks - I cannot join this evening’s (CET) CPWG call and therefore want to express my support for the statement. If it comes to a vote during the call then please include my explicit endorsement.


Just a comment, and if not relevant then ignore, but I took the final report from 11 February that was sent to the GNSO council on the 12th as a reference to see what our concerns apply to. I am somewhat confused:


- Rec#16 states ‘that Registrars and Registry Operators are permitted to differentiate between registrants on a geographic basis, but are not obligated to do so.’

Our response says ‘The report recommends that contracted parties will not need to perform any level of geographic differentiation due to the difficulty of determining the location of the registrant.’

I cannot find that argument (‘due to’) in the draft final report. However rec#5 requires registrars to a.o. collect address- incl country data from registrants.  So on the one hand hand the data are collected and (should be) accurate, and on the other it is ‘difficult’ to ‘determine the location of the registrant’?


- Rec#5 lists the ‘data elements to be collected where some data elements are automatically generated and, as indicated below, in some cases it is optional for the registered name holder to provide those data elements.

The ‘tech fields’ (name, phone and email) in the ‘data elements’ table are not ‘indicated’ as being ‘optional’. Like for instance the ‘organization’ and ‘fax’ fields of the ‘registrant’ (= ‘opt.’) . Then there is a note ‘For the purpose of the Technical contact, which is optional for the Registered Name Holder to complete (and if the Registrar provides this option)’.  Etc. Why are the technical contact data elements not labeled in the table as being ‘(opt.)’?


thanks again, with regards
Bastiaan
