Thanks Fatima.   It is even more important to participate in the survey.
 The working link for the English language version of the online survey is
here:

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-survey-14mar14-en.htm


The printable survey instrument can be accessed here:
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-survey-01apr14-en.pdf

We will make sure to circulate the link to
versions in
Spanish
and other
language
s
 soon as
those are
available.

It would be most helpful if we extract the working link, send it forward
and ask our networks to participate in the survey.

>
> If you provide or use gTLD domain name registration data (today known as
> Whois), please consider responding to this survey to share your unique
> perspective on potential risks and benefits associated with the EWG's
> proposed RDS, should ICANN choose to implement such as system to replace
> Whois.
>
> Today, anyone can query Whois to identify the organization or individual
> responsible for an Internet domain name, known as a Registrant, along with
> their postal address, email address, and telephone number. The EWG was
> asked to re-examine the purpose and provision of this information,
> envisioning a clean-slate approach to meet global Internet community needs
> with greater privacy, accuracy, and accountability. The EWG's proposed next
> generation RDS would collect, validate and disclose registration
> information for permissible purposes only, with some values remaining
> public and others being gated - that is, returned only to authorized users
> with legitimate purposes.
>
> At this point, the RDS is simply a proposal being refined by the EWG for
> ICANN Board and community consideration. If you are one of the many
> different individuals, businesses, and other organizations that consume
> Whois data today, or a domain name Registrant, Registrar, or Registry that
> provides Whois data today, please participate in this survey. This survey
> is a chance to tell the EWG about the risks and benefits that the
> recommended RDS might have for YOU.
>
> All risks and benefits identified through this survey will be published in
> aggregated, anonymized form and used by the EWG to refine its
> recommendations and as input to a full risk assessment.

> *Background*
>
> In December 2012, ICANN announced the creation of an Expert Working Group
> (EWG) on next generation gTLD Registration Directory Services, as a first
> step in fulfilling the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose
> and provision of gTLD registration data. The EWG's findings are expected to
> serve as a foundation to help the GNSO create a new global policy for the
> provision of gTLD registration data.
>
> A significant milestone was reached on 24 June
> 2013<
> http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm
> >with
> the publication
> <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm
> >of
> the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory
> Services<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services
> >(EWG)'s
> Initial Report and FAQs, opening a consultation period with the
> ICANN community. The Initial
> Report<
> http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report-24jun13-en.pdf
> >[PDF,
> 1.70 MB] enumerated the users, purposes, data elements, recommended
> principles and features, and proposed model to guide the development of a
> next generation Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace Whois.
>
> Prior to the ICANN Meeting in Buenos Aires, the EWG published its Status
> Update Report<
> http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/status-update-11nov13-en.pdf
> >[PDF,
> 2.26 MB] to highlight the EWG's thinking on these and many other key
> issues. It also provides a great deal more detail on the analysis that lay
> behind the Initial

> *What's Next?*
>
> The EWG is now completing its research and information gathering phase
> before delivering its final recommendations to the ICANN Board. The RDS
> Risk Survey is one of several research efforts undertaken being the EWG to
> ensure that its final recommendations are supported by facts and informed
> by current practices and input from all those potentially impacted by any
> next generation system to replace Whois.
>
> The EWG expects to complete its recommendations in 2014, informed by
> Community feedback and in-depth analysis of selected areas, including the
> responses to this RDS Risk Survey. The EWG plans to deliver its final
> report to the ICANN Board in June 2014.
