Re: Re: [bc-gnso] FOR REVIEW BY 11-AUG: BC comments on Expert Working Group for Directory Services ( new Whois)

I do think that there are strong sensitivities. I already proposed a more 
genteel approach for understanding the CCNSO's views and priorities, which I 
didn't see any forthcoming interest in. I stand behind my suggestion for 
focusing on gTLDs, and proceeding with a more collaborative approach in 
engaging w ccNSO. As noted, I can suppot Marie's language. 

But also, the CSG has discussed having the Cross Constituency bkft w the CCNSO 
in BA. If so, the topics will likely be ICANN governance and budget, Strat 
plan. But a good opportunity to have civil engagements.

Stephane, 
  
As you know, I am not afraid to light a fuse, but make no mistake in my 
judgement that this will be lighting a fuse.  Perhaps we can let Byron (new 
chair of the ccNSO council know what we are up to.  I would be more than happy 
to make the contact as he is Canadian and will likely take it politely if not 
well. 
  
Cheers,

I understand the sentiments expressed by John and Susan. 
  
However, I would think it a pity that the ICANN community as a whole once again 
decides to shy away completely from any attempt at bringing some common sense 
into the g and cc coexistence. 
  
For me, at a time when so many ccs are either already behaving as gs or about 
to manage some new gTLDs themselves, I think it is not unreasonable to suggest 
that both namespaces look towards some way of finding a common approach on 
registration data. 
  
I also think that the BC, as the home of business in the ICANN ecosystem, would 
be behaving in a responsible manner to its constituents by highlighting this 
fact in this instance. 
  
I believe the language I have suggested is soft enough not to appear aggressive 
for cc managers. 
  
So I would suggest we have a good opportunity here to get a common sense 
message across. 
  
Thanks,

I agree with John, we have been very careful on the EWG to look at the ccTlds 
and how they manage the domain name record data but our mandate did not include 
looking at  ccTld registration data for this database.  I think we already have 
a steep uphill climb for gTlds and we may want to leave the ccTlds out of it 
for now.

J. Scott, et. al., 
  
With regard to whether it will be a political bombshell or not, I cannot say, 
but as the GNSO Council liaison to the ccNSO Council I have come to appreciate 
the bright line they draw between the "g" and the "cc" name space.  I suspect 
that even if Stephane's suggestion would not be the incendiary device you 
foretell, it would be a distraction from the more urgent matter of solving the 
directory services problem for the the gTLDs.  I would vote not to include the 
language. 
  
My two cents.

Dear All: 

 
I have reviewed Bill's emails, his comments and those added by Stephane.  I am 
fine with Stephane's comments so long as we all feel this wouldn't be a 
political bombshell (however realistic and practical it may be). 

 
As for Bill's suggestion about "entities".  I have attempted to suggest 
language that I think assuage my concerns.  Bill?

I have attached an updated version. I'm quite happy with Stephane's addition 
but would ask J. Scott to offer alternative language for "entities" and to look 
with Yahoo to get a better understanding of the complexity and difficulty of 
operating a large-scale directory infrastructure, especially one that is by its 
nature sensitive. 
  
(see my comments within J Scott's comments) 
 
  
Any move from a freely available public WHOIS system to one that is mediated 
and subject to access controls requires careful consideration. Implementing a 
secure, internet-scale, global directory for "accredited" security 
professionals will be no small task.

The wording is not perfect IMO, but hopefully the intent is clear.

+1 
  
Attached is a marked up version of the document. I have attempted to replace 
web and website with Internet and service (generally) and hope that my changes 
read properly. I believe it important to make the distinction between the web 
and Internet since the ARDS is used for much more than the web. 
  
I also included some comments and additions that I believe are necessary to 
include. In particular, I disagree with the assertion that there is no 
foundation for the belief that the scale of the ARDS make it vulnerable. 
Internet entities are vulnerable regardless of size but as they grow, they 
become increasingly attractive targets. ARDS will be attractive - or the 
Registrar community has been disingenuous about the scale of SPAM, customer 
loss, etc. that results from harvesting information via WHOIS. 
  
I have also added text related to Gated Access and concerns related to data 
aggregation and operation of such a critical resource necessarily dependent on 
PII of security professionals. These individuals face very real risks given the 
work they do, those they "oppose", and the penalties imposed for crimes they 
uncover. 
  
I hope we will consider the changes I have proposed.

Thank you Steve, Laura, Susan, J Scott and Elisa for a well drafted document 
that I believe is perfectly inline with business users interests as defined by 
our charter. 
  
If I might make a suggestion, even though it's out of scope of the EWG's work, 
I would love to see something in our opening comments about the fact that if 
the RDS model is adopted (or another unified model for managing gTLD 
registration data), it would be extremely beneficial for Internet users 
worldwide if ccTLD registries were also willing to work towards the adoption of 
the same, single-format, model. 
  
I think it's useful for commentors to the EWG's draft report to make this 
point, even though ccTLD managers abide by their own national laws and ways of 
doing things, because we all have a lot to gain from a more effective and more 
uniform registration data database. 
  
Apart from that suggestion, I have no other comments. The draft seems spot on 
to me and is supported by SVG Consulting Ltd. 
  
Thanks,
