Scope of work

Reminder: this sub group's scope of work follows item 4b of the WG Charter.
The sub group needs to compile information on options to:

"Determine how and which legitimate third parties may access registration
data that is no longer available for unrestricted, public, query-based
access."

 

 

1          Logistics arrangements

 There will be 2 further teleconferences of this sub group:

- May 9 and 16 at same time. 

 

The mailing list of the group is:

gnso-acc-sgb@xxxxxxxxx 

 

 

 

2          Template for proposals

Milton Mueller had already prepared a template for proposals (SEE ATTACHED
DOCUMENT) for this sub group to gather and consider:

  

    - Which third parties

    - How are they certified?

    - Access process and mechanisms (sub-heading: speed)

    - Cost burden and distribution

 

Adding purpose as a factor was discussed but it was generally agreed to roll
purpose into the nature of the accessing party in the certification process,
i.e. law enforcement, etc. 

 

The sub group agreed to keep the template Milton had set out with an extra
column for 'notes' to include issues such as possiblity for abuse or
leakage, technical modalities of access. 

 

 

3          Proposals received

The two proposals received to date were summarised by Milton.

 

Discussion of Paul Stahura's proposal included the difficulty of
establishing in all countries whether a hierarchy of law enforcement
agencies exists to match a certification key chain.  On the other hand, this
is why a national and centralized approach was proposed, and also multiple
keys can easily be revoked. 

 

A distinction was made of access of public and private actors to unpublished
Whois data. 

 

 

Actions

-          Bertrand de la Chapelle agreed to write a paragraph for the sub
group explaining his thoughts on national certification connected to an
international organization for law enforcement authorities. 

-          Sub group members are invited to develop and submit their own
proposals in some detail, i.e. don't just say which 3rd parties but identify
how they might be certified or authorized. 

-          Proposals need to follow the template. 

-          Deadline for proposals: May 7, 5 pm UMT - NOTE change of time. 

-          Maria will compile and circulate the proposals together. 

-           If submitted early, proposals can be discussed on the list or
have a more general discussion about them.
