>      IAG-WHOIS Conflicts Mission and Scope
>
>The IAG-WHOIS Conflicts is tasked with providing the GNSO Council
>suggestions on how to improve the current Procedure. The The IAG's
>mission and scope will focus on changes to the Procedure and not ICANN's
>contractual requirements. Any recommendations made by the IAG will be
>forwarded to the GNSO Council to determine whether implementation of the
>Procedure ought to be changed.
>
>As part of its deliberations, the IAG should, at a minimum, consider the
>following issues that were highlighted in the recent Report of Public
>Comments on this topic. Those issues include:
>
>  * Process: Should the Procedure be revised to allow for invocation
>    prior to contracting?
>      o If adopted, how would that alter the contracting process?
>      o What parties would be most appropriate to include at this early
>        stage of the Procedure?
>  * Trigger: What triggers would be appropriate for invoking the Procedure?
>      o Would evidence from a data protection authority that the
>        contract is in conflict with national laws be sufficient to
>        trigger the Procedure? If so, how would ICANN define which data
>        protection authority is an acceptable authority? Would the
>        authority have to be a nationally representative body? Should a
>        regional body's opinion carry the same weight as a national or
>        local authority?
>      o Similarly, would an official opinion from a government agency
>        provide enough evidence? If so, which agencies would be most
>        appropriate? Would it have to be an agency tasked with data
>        protection? What about a consumer trust bureau or treasury
>        department that includes consumer protections in its mandate? Or
>        would a foreign ministry provide the best source of information?
>        Which bodies would be considered authoritative enough to provide
>        a creditable opinion?
>      o Would evidence of a conflict from ICANN-provided analysis
>        provide sufficient information to invoke the Procedure? What
>        type of evidence should this analysis cite?
>      o If the Procedure allowed for a written opinion from a nationally
>        recognized law firm to provide sufficient evidence for a
>        trigger? What types of firms could be considered nationally
>        recognized? Should it be accredited or made to prove its
>        competency? If so, how? What if ICANN receives contradictory
>        opinions from two firms? How is it to determine the more valid
>        argument?
>  * Public comment: How should public comments be incorporated into the
>    Procedure?
>      o What role should comments have in ICANN's decision-making process?
>      o What length of public comment period is appropriate to ensure
>        that the Procedure is completed in a timely fashion?
>      o How should comments be analyzed?
>      o Should public comments be treated as a safeguard in case a
>        decision is flawed?
>
>The IAG shall invite participation in its discussions from other ICANN
>Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, including the GAC.

>      Background
>
>ICANN announced a Call for Volunteers for the Implementation Advisory
>Group to Review Existing ICANN Procedure for Handling WHOIS Conflicts
>with Privacy Laws
><http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-10-14-en>on 14 October
>2014. The call for volunteers followed a paper published 22 May 2014
><http://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-conflicts-procedure-2014-05-22-en>,
>which opened a review process to solicit community feedback on the
>Procedure's effectiveness. Based on the comments received in response to
>the paper, ICANN convened this IAG in order to explore suggested changes
>to the Procedure, which would be forwarded to the GNSO Council for its
>consideration.
