Murray, All you need to do is send a message to
<gnso-secs@icann.org> saying you would like to be a member of the
RDS PDP WG. And some or all of its sub-groups. The WG Wiki is at

I have been largely absent from At large meetings for a while but do

The topic of Whois is why I attended my first ICANN meeting in 2012 in
the first place and despite a few distractions along the way remain
interested.<br><br>
Holly, your comments are concise and reflect a very long history on the
topic. <br><br>
Alan, perhaps I can re-engage with At-Large through volunteering to
continue with this delicate and most facinating policy dialogue.<br><br>
Please consider this an expression of interest to continue to volunteer
some time to ICANN.<br><br>

These last few emails are exactly why we need people with institutional
memory in At Large and ALAC: so new people, like I, can at least
begin to grasp the deep complexities of some issues and not fall into the
pitfalls caused when power is coupled with ignorance.<br><br>
Thank you.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">And what I didn’t add was WHY
this issue is so HUGE.<br><br>
Essentially, the RAA requires that WHOIS information (as defined -
including registrant’s name, address, contact details etc - see Clause
3.3.1 in the 2013 RAA) be publicly available. And, as many of
you are aware - that goes absolutely up against data retention laws in
the EU, Canada, and many other jurisdictions - which means that
registrars are either breaking their contract with ICANN or
national data retention laws. Fadi - and the Board - recognised
those difficulties and established the Expert Working Group (Carlton, for
his sins, was a member) that came up with proposals to address those
difficulties including a concept of making only limited information on
registrants publicly available, with gated access to more layers of
information, depending on the status of the requestor. And the Board has
approved of the RDS WG to work - within its charter - through EWG
proposals. So, in that way too truncated recitation of the outline
of the issues, the RDS WG that ALan, Carlton and I are members of, are
working through what we do about that fundamental contradiction between
basic data retention law and ICANN’s RAA. And trust me, there are
many interest groups that have had access to that publicly available
personal information and are not happy at the prospect of losing that
access.<br><br>
End result - we are YEARS away from a final policy on who has what access
to what level of registrant personal information. Which is why i cringe
at the thought of yet another RDS WG - without a final, agreed policy
framework on access to registrant data.<br><br>
And yes, that is only one of the issues raised by Whois.<br><br>
and what Carlton, Alan and I should be doing is bringing you all in to
participate in this issue - I promise you, there is plenty of policy work
for years to come - and I”d love company.<br>
BUT PLEASE, not yet another review<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I am attaching a document from
the GNSO on the proposed RDS (formerly WHOIS) Review to be started very
soon.<br><br>
You will recall that we previously had approved a narrowing of the scope
of the RDS Review to focus just on the extent to which the previous WHOIS
Review Recommendations had been implemented. This GNSO proposal widens
the scope considerably. Although there is no question that the wider
scope is interesting and ptentially useful, it will also require far more
community involvement that the earlier proposal.<br><br>
The call for volunteers was to close on 13 January and a decision needs
to be made quickly on exactly what the Review should be.<br><br>
Comments please, with some urgency.<br><br>

Dear Karen and Community Leaders <br><br>
The GNSO Council, working with its component Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies, has produced this document (attached), which outlines our
feedback and concerns with the proposed âlimited scopeâ for the
upcoming RDS review. The document was submitted to ICANN Staff, and
sharing with this team for your reference.<br><br>
Thank you,<br><br>
