policy debated for many years
O Council decided in October 2007 that study data was needed to provide obj ective, factual basis for future policy making
study areas that reflect key policy concerns
taff used an RFP approach to do so
which studies to do
51
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
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.
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
This study will compare a broad sample of Privacy & Proxy-registered domains associated with alleged harmful acts to assess:
WHOIS
use
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
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
56
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.
S S AC, AS O, GNS O, CCNS O for input
