slide-30
SLIDE 30

Tot al of 17 recommendat ions, including amongst ot hers:

  • Provide a minimum of 8 days after expiration for

renewal by registrant

  • All gTLDs and registrars must offer Redemption

Grace Period (RGP), with the exception of sponsored gTLDs

  • Fees charged for renewal must be posted
  • At least two notices prior to expiration at set

times, one after expiration

Recommendations

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31
  • Website must explicitly say that registration has

expired and instructions on how to redeem

  • Development of education materials about how to

prevent unintentional loss

  • Best practices recommendations
  • Regular updates on the effectiveness and status of

implementation of the recommendations

Recommendations - continued

31

Marika Konings

34

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Background

  • In its Final Report, the Registration

Abuse Policies (RAP) Working Group recommended ‘the creation of non- binding best practices to help registrars and registries address the illicit use of domain names’.

  • At its meeting on 3 February 2011, the

GNS O Council requested ICANN S taff to prepare a discussion paper on this topic

35

  • Considers issues such as:

– What makes a practice a best practice – Identification and/ or creation – Defining non-binding nature – ICANN’s role – Resources and process – Maintenance, review, promotion and

dissemination

– Cost, benefit, funding, incentives

37

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Discussion Paper (continued)

  • Preliminary inventory of current or

proposed best practices

Background & Next S teps

  • GNS

O Council request on the current state of the UDRP

  • In consultation with the Council, adopted new PDP

approach:

  • 1. Publication of a Preliminary Issue Report

prior to S ingapore Meeting

  • 2. Public Comment Forum on Preliminary Issue Report

(May- July)

Current S tate of the UDRP

43

Widely Recognized as a Success

  • It is widely recognized as one of ICANN’s

defining accomplishments from its formative years

  • While not perfect - viable alt ernat ive t o

cost ly lit igat ion involving part ies from differing j urisdict ions

  • Over t en years of decisions, bring

consist ency and reliabilit y t o bot h regist rant s and t rademark holders

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Community View of the UDRP

44

  • The UDRP is cost effective, as compared to

traditional litigation

  • The UDRP is flexible and fair to respondents-

rarely challenged in court

  • Although not perfect, more harm than good can

result from a PDP

  • If the UDRP is to be reviewed at all, focus on

process improvements

  • Concerns that a PDP could undermine the

effectiveness of the UDRP

  • Better to wait for data on from new GTLD

Program’s Uniform Rapid S uspension S ystem

  • Majority View- No Support for a PDP at this

time

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Other Community Views

  • Good practice to review all ICANN

policies

  • After 10 years, review of UDRP is
  • verdue
  • Extensive third party literature critical
  • f the UDRP points to need for review
  • Questions whether changes can be done
  • utside of a PDP
  • UDRP should be updated to include

better protections for free speech and fair use

Minority View

45

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Advice from S O/ ACs

  • Initiating a PDP along with the new gTLD launch

has public policy implications

  • Uncertainty from new untested rights protection

mechanisms compounded if the future of the UDRP uncertain

  • Continued availability of the long-standing and

tested UDRP important to the New gTLD Program

  • Now is not the appropriate time to launch a

PDP _____________________________________________

  • Concerns that a expert panel review needs to be

geographically diverse and conflict -free

  • Those calling for a PDP now do not reflect the

consensus

  • A PDP should not be commenced at this time

GAC Advice ALAC Advice

46

slide-47
SLIDE 47

S taff Recommendation

47

  • Staff recommends against initiating a

PDP at this time

  • PDP more appropriate after URS

has been in effect for 18 months

  • If the GNS

O Council believes that the UDRP should be reviewed:

  • S

taff suggests convening a team of experts

  • Experts to focus on process

recommendations only

  • PDP could be initiated later if there is a

continued desire to review the policy

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Agenda:

  • WHOIS

S tudies – 4 studies:

– “Misuse” of public data – Registrant Identification – Proxy/ Privacy “Abuse” – Proxy/ Privacy Relay and Reveal

  • WHOIS

S ervice Requirements Report – upcoming survey

50

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Goals of gTLD WHOIS studies

  • WHOIS

policy debated for many years

  • Many interests with valid viewpoints
  • GNS

O Council decided in October 2007 that study data was needed to provide obj ective, factual basis for future policy making

  • Identified several WHOIS

study areas that reflect key policy concerns

  • Asked staff to determine costs and feasibility
  • f conducting those studies
  • S

taff used an RFP approach to do so

  • Research is done, Council is now deciding

which studies to do

51

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Misuse S tudy

S tudy will assess whether public WHOIS significantly increases harmful acts and the impact of anti- harvesting measures. Two approaches : 1.Experimental: register test domains and measure harmful messages resulting from misuse 2.Descriptive: study misuse incidents reported by registrants, researchers/ law enforcement Cost: $150,000 (US D) Awarded to Carnegie Mellon U., Pittsburgh, P A, US A Status: approved by GNS O Council last S ept, initiated in April 2011 Time estimate: 1 + year 52

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Registrant Identification S tudy

  • S

tudy will examine info about how domain name registrants are identified and classify the various types of entities that register domains, including natural persons, various types of legal persons and Privacy and Proxy service providers.

  • S

tudy has been recast as an “exploratory” data- gathering effort that is not hypothesis-driven. This will also provide more consistency with related GAC proposals offered in 2008. Cost: approx. $180,000 (US D) (revised due to change in study terms). Awarded to NORC at the U. of Chicago. Time estimate: 1 year Status: Contract j ust finalized, launch late October 53

slide-54
SLIDE 54

WHOIS Privacy and Proxy “Abuse” S tudy

This study will compare a broad sample of Privacy & Proxy-registered domains associated with alleged harmful acts to assess:

  • 1. How often bad actors try to obscure identity in

WHOIS

  • 2. How this rate of abuse compares to overall P/ P

use

  • 3. How this rate compares to alternatives like

falsified WHOIS data, compromised machines, and free web hosting Cost: $150,000 (US D) Time estimate: 1 year Status: GNS O Council approved on 28 April, contract being finalized 54

slide-55
SLIDE 55

WHOIS P/ P Relay & Reveal S tudy

The original study would analyze communication relay and identity reveal requests sent for Privacy & Proxy-registered domains: 1.To explore and document how they are processed, and 2.To identify factors that may promote or impede timely communication and resolution. Potential bidders were unsure of the feasibility of this study, especially obtaining a sufficient data sample, so the Council opted to conduct a pre-study to survey potential participants to determine if launching a full study is feasible to do. Cost: $80,000 (US D) for Pre-study S urvey Awarded to Interisle Consulting Time estimate: four months Status: Launched in S eptember 55

Inventory of WHOIS Service Requirements Report

56

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Background

  • May 2009 -- The GNS

O Council asked Policy S taff to compile a comprehensive set of technical requirements for the WHOIS service policy tools that reflect not only the known deficiencies in the current service but also include technical requirements that may be needed to support various policy initiatives that have been suggested in the past.

  • Released draft report in March 2010 to ALAC,

S S AC, AS O, GNS O, CCNS O for input

  • Incorporated comments and released Final

Report on 29 July 2010 57

slide-58
SLIDE 58

Goals & Non-goals

Collect and organize a set of technical requirements for community consideration:

  • Current features identified as needing

improvement

  • Features to support various past policy

proposals

  • Features recommended by ICANN S

Os, ACs, community NOT gathering policy requirements NOT recommending policy

58

slide-59
SLIDE 59

Compilation includes:

  • Mechanism to find authoritative Whois

servers

  • S

tructured queries

  • S

tandardized set of query capabilities

  • Well-defined schema for replies
  • S

tandardized errors

  • Quality of domain registration data
  • Internationalization
  • S

ecurity

  • Thick vs. Thin WHOIS
  • Registrar abuse point of contact

59

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Status of the report

  • Council decided on 19 May to

convene a drafting team to develop a survey to try to estimate the level

  • f agreement with various

“requirements” among the GNS

O community.

  • S

urvey results might help determine whether there is benefit to initiating a working group to develop a plan for considering the technical requirement recommendations in the report.

What is it?

  • IRD-WG: Joint Working

Group of GNS O and S S AC

  • S

tudy the feasibilit y and suit abilit y of introducing submission and display specifications to deal with the internationalization of registration data

63

slide-64
SLIDE 64

Why is it important?

64

  • Supporting IRD is an important

evolutionary step for the WHOIS service

  • No standards exist for submission and

display of Internationalised registration data in directory services

  • Current WHOIS implementations do

not consistently support IRD and could lead to poor user experience and interoperability issues

slide-65

Background: RIRs, NRO and the AS O

  • What is an RIR?

− Regional Internet Registry. There

are five RIRs; AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE and they cooperate thru the NRO, the Number Resource Organization.

  • What is the AS

O?

− The Address S

upporting Organization, set up through an MoU between ICANN and the NRO.

− One maj or task of the AS

O is to handle Global Policy Proposals.

83

slide-84
SLIDE 84

Background: Global Policies

84

  • What is a “Global Policy”?

– The RIRs develop many regional

addressing policies.

– Only very few policies affect IANA and

  • nly those are called “Global Policies”.
  • Global Policy Proposal in “pipeline”:

Global Policy Proposal: Recovered IPv4 ”Post Exhaustion”

  • Why is it important?

– The proposal enables IANA to handle

recovered IPv4 address space and allocate smaller blocks than before Current status:

– The third proposal on this theme! It

has been introduced in all RIRs, adopted in APNIC, passed final call in LACNIC, AfriNIC and RIPE, and is in discussion in ARIN.

– Replaces two previous proposals for

Recovered IPv4 that didn’t reach global consensus.

How do I get involved?

  • For all addressing policies: participate

in the bottom-up policy development in an RIR of your choice.

  • All RIRs conduct open meetings where

policy proposals are discussed and all have open mailing lists for such matters.
