[gnso-dataprotection-thickwhois] 0423 draft report
Don and colleagues, The attached document contains three or four small edits that are reflected in my notes of our most recent call but that did not make it into Don's 4/23 revised draft. It also corrects a few typos. With regard to the point reflected in Don's embedded comment on the next to last page: I don't think we need any more detailed analysis in this paper of the changes included in the proposed 2013 RAA released last week. I say that for three reasons: first, the new proposed RAA provision that Marika excerpted in an earlier e-mail deals only with conflicts with respect to collection or retention of data (and extends well beyond Whois data), and does not address conflicts with respect to publication of Whois data: these remain subject to the existing procedure that is cited in Don's draft, even if the new RAA language is adopted unchanged. Second, by its nature anything in the RAA applies only to registrars; and the move from thin to thick Whois -- our assignment -- is a change in obligations for registries only. It's correct that treatment of this issue is relevant to our broader recommendation that occupies the last few pages of the draft, but to me this distinction underscores that this recommendation may in fact take us beyond our remit. Finally, purely as a practical matter, the text of the new RAA will not become final until June at the earliest, and we certainly don't want to delay this report, as part of the overall contribution to the Working Group's work product, for another month or two. Thanks again to Don for an excellent job in pulling together the disparate views. Can we move this up to the next (full WG) level this week? Steve Metalitz Attachment:
