1. Update on conflict with national law work item undertaken by Steve
Metalitz and Kathy Kleiman. <br>
2. Planning for Luxembourg meetings - GAC Workshop<br>

</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>1. Update on conflict with
national law work item undertaken by Steve Metalitz and Kathy Kleiman.
</strong><br>
<strong>Steve Metalitz</strong> reported that progress had been made on
dividing the recommendation in 2: <br>
-
a recommendation for consensus policy <br>
-
a recommended procedure that staff would consider as a starting point in
implementing a policy. <br>
<strong>Kathy Kleiman</strong> would circulate a draft.<br>
<strong><br>
2. Planning for Luxembourg meetings - GAC Workshop</strong><br>
<strong>Suzanne Sene</strong> reported that the Government Advisory
Committee (GAC) was planning a workshop on Sunday 10 July
2005 from 14:00 to 18:00, to which the GNSO, ccNSO, and ASO Councils
would be invited. The council chairs of the ccNSO, GNSO and ASO, were asked
to identify appropriate speakers and the GAC representatives would identify
law enforcement speakers. <br>
A closed session, meaning not open to the press, was planned to ensure the
level of detail from law enforcement and to increase their comfort. The
Supporting Oganizations were being asked ensure that all parties would
participate and it was envisaged that the entire GAC would participate rather
than just the GAC working group. ICANN meeting organizers were working on the
logistics of the venue.<br>
<strong><br>
Milton Mueller </strong>commented, that from the agenda, there appeared to be
no representation for people who might be expert on individual rights against
law enforcement activities and questoned whether it was a one-sided attempt to
promote a particular view or was it intended to be a broad discussion on law
enforcement?<br>
<strong><br>
Suzanne Sene</strong> responded that it was intended to be a broad discussion
with the first session focussed on law enforcement with the understanding that
other issues would be addressed in subsequent meetings.<br>
<br>
<strong>Milton Mueller</strong> noted that privacy had been deferred, as
usual, to some date undetermined in the future.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Marilyn Cade
</strong>commented that the Luxembourg meeting schedule was not yet available
but the proposed times for the Whois task force meetings were Monday or
Wednesday afternoon. There would be a GNSO Public Forum and Bruce Tonkin had
requested that the task force be part of the public forum. <br>
<strong>Jordyn Buchanan</strong> thanked Suzanne Sene. <br>

terms of reference<br>
4. Discuss work plan in light of the new terms of reference <br>
Jordyn Buchanan reported:</strong><br>
-
that the Council did not take action on the <a
href="http://www.gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg00963.html";>
final report from the WHOIS task force with respect to improving notification
and consent for the use of contact data in the Whois system.</a> and the vote
was deferred to the next council meeting on June 23, 2005. <BR>
- that the Council had approved the <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/policies/terms-of-reference.html";>new terms of
reference</a>. <br>
In summary there were
5 tasks: <br>
1. Define the purpose of the WHOIS service in the context of ICANN's mission
and relevant core values, <br>
2. Define the purpose of the Registered Name Holder, technical, and
administrative contacts, in the context of the purpose of WHOIS, and the
purpose
for which the data was collected. Use the relevant definitions from <A
href="http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm";>Exhibit C
of the Transfers Task force report </A>as a starting point <br>
3. Determine what data collected should be available for public access in the
context of the purpose of WHOIS. <br>
One difference between this terms of reference and the <a
href="http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/tor2.shtml";>previous terms
of reference</a>, was that it was in the scope of the task force to disucss
what data should be gathered. However as it now stands, of the data gathered,
what should be available to public access.<br>
4. Determine how to improve the process for notifying a registrar of inaccurate
WHOIS data, and the process for investigating and correcting inaccurate data. A
response based mechanism relating to issues dealing with accuracy. <br>
5. Determine how to resolve differences between a Registered Name Holder's,
gTLD Registrar's, or gTLD Registry's obligation to abide by all applicable laws
and governmental regulations that relate to the<BR>
WHOIS service, as well as the obligation to abide by the terms of the
agreements with ICANN that relate to the WHOIS service. Work being undertaken
by Steve Metalitz and Kathy Kleiman. <br>
<br>
The numbering did not indicate any specific order of priority.<br>
<BR>
<strong>Marilyn Cade</strong> reported that <strong>Maria Farrell</strong>, the
GNSO Policy Officer, was given a short data gathering assignment to report back
to the GNSO
council and the combined WHOIS task force on a review of the top 10 registrars
and a random selection of 10 other registrars to determine how registrars make
registrants aware of their obligations to provide contact information for
public display via the WHOIS service. <STRONG><BR>
</STRONG>On the terms of references, she noted that the GNSO council would
continue to be very closely involved and require frequency reports on the task
force progress and be able to offer assistance or reports at any point if the
task force deemed it necessary. <br>
<br>
<strong>Jordyn Buchanan</strong> suggested that tasks one and two, defining
the purpose of WHOIS and the contacts seemed to be preliminary work in framing
tasks three and four. It would be difficult to decide what information should
be publicly accessible without a notion of the purpose and what the contacts
were for. <br>
He suggested a serial work plan approach.</font></P>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Steve Metalitz</strong>
noted that for task 4, Ross Rader had put forward a proposal and suggested
building on what had already been done. He further commented that the IPC and
the majority of the constituencies on the council believed the reference was
too narrow, and in view of the work done on investigating inaccurate data, it
should be made a priority.<br>
<br>
<strong>Marilyn Cade</strong> suggested dividing up the tasks into 3
initiatives and having a work plan for each initative so that they could be
advanced simultaneously. <br>
<strong></strong><br>
Initiatve 1
- tasks one, two <br>
Initiatve 2 - task 4 <br>
Initiative 3 - task 5 <br>
<strong><br>
Milton Mueller </strong>commented that if a workplan was being put forward,
task 5 could be advanced on a parallel track. With respect to tasks 1, 2, 3
& 4 it was clear that the purpose should first be dealt with before the
other tasks could be resolved. He noted that under data protection law and
norms, if data was to be collected there had to be a clearly defined purpose
and that purpose indicated what data was needed or not needed, how much
resources should be invested in making it accurate, what the states of accuracy
were, what needed to be publicly accessible and what did not. Thus it appeared
that nothing could be done before task 1 was resolved. He did not agree that
the order of the tasks did not reflect an ordered priority. The sequence was
clear: first define the purpose of the WHOIS service in the context of the
ICANN mission, second define the purpose of the the specific data elements, and
third define what should be available for public access, and once that was
done, accuracy could be addressed.<br>
<br>
<strong>Marilyn Cade</strong>, did not disagree with Milton Mueller, but
attempted to clarify council's intention that work needed to be advanced on
tasks 1 and 2, and that some amount of data gathering and discussion needed to
occur in an interactive way as opposed to sequential. <br>
It was suggested requesting clarification from Bruce Tonkin as the GNSO Council
chair on task 4.<br>
<br>
<strong>Steve Metalitz </strong>agreed on separate work plans for tasks 1,2
& 3 together, 4 & 5 but did not agree with seeking clarification on
task 4 as the task force had been involved in drafting the terms of reference.
He believed <a
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00237.html";>Ross Rader's
accuracy proposal </a>to be a good starting point for task 4. He questioned
Bruce Tonkin instructing the staff with regard to supporting the task force and
setting priorities. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Jordyn Buchanan
</strong>clarified that Maria Farrell had been asked to gather data in support
of a council's vote on <a
href="http://www.gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg00963.html";>recommendation
1</a>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Milton Mueller</strong>
commented the current process for investigating and correcting inaccurate data
was flawed, as a consequence of the lack of attention paid to privacy and the
NCUC believed that it would only be resolved on a consensus basis when tasks 1,
2 & 3 were resolved. Thus the process envisaged in the terms of reference
was seen as a hierarchical step by step way of resolving those issues and by
going down the hierarchy the level of cooperation from the NCUC other
constituencies would increase. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Marilyn Cade</strong>, in
the interest of advancing work between now and Luxembourg, proposed:<br>
-
parking task 4 and developing a work plan for tasks 1,2 & 3 and 5 so that
there could be a meaningful discussion at the public comment forum in
Luxembourg.<br>
- re visiting the work plan discussion on task 4 at a time when there was full
representation from all constituencies, either in Luxembourg or on a conference
call.<br>
<br>
<strong>Jordyn Buchanan</strong> stressed that it was important to advance
work between now and Luxembourg, that he was sensitive to Steve Metalitz's
concern that work on task 4 should not be abandoned and proposed:<br>
- focusing work around tasks 1 and 2 (with limited ability to go forward on
task 3) <br>
- to
continue advancing task 5 as well and maybe discuss it next week on a call<br>
- to continue to allow and encourage the development of <a
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00237.html";>Ross Rader's
accuracy proposal</a> or any other item relating to accuracy, on the list
without completely parking it <br>
<br>
<strong>Steve Metalitz</strong> was opposed to<strong> Marilyn Cade
</strong>and<strong> Jordyn Buchanan's</strong> proposal of parking task
4.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Jordyn Buchanan</strong>
summarised the proposal <br>
- the next few calls focusing on task 5, then on tasks 1 and 2. <br>
- to discuss task 4 with representatives from all the constituencies on a task
force call immediately following Luxembourg, 19 July 2005 and to encourage
work on the accuracy topic on the list.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>David Fares</strong> noted
that there was a commitment from the task force to address accuracy and
<strong>Jordyn</strong> <strong>Buchanan</strong> confirmed that there were no
dissenting voices on the call.<br>

</strong>addressed the topic of the public forum that was relatively new for
the GNSO council and that it gave the community an additional opportunity for
public comment. There would be online access during the session which
usually lasted 2 hours. The intention was to have the task force present their
work and take public comments on it. <br>
She proposed putting together a plan on the topics the task force would like
to address and have the chair go back to the council and confirm that it would
be appropriate in view of the time available.</font></P>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Jordyn Buchanan</strong>
suggested focusing on tasks 1 and 2 while <strong>Steve Metalitz</strong> was
of the opinion that topics the task force had been discussing for some years,
including accuracy, national laws, notification and consent would be of more
value.<br>
He suggested that the task force develope a list of questions soliciting
feedback on topics such as, what do you think is the purpose of WHOIS / who do
you list as contact for domain names etc. <br>

<p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">* WHOIS Task Force terms
of reference tasks:</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(1) Define the purpose of the
WHOIS service in the context of ICANN's mission and relevant core values,
international and national laws protecting privacy of natural persons,
international and national laws<br>
that relate specifically to the WHOIS service, and the changing nature of
Registered Name Holders.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(2) Define the purpose of the
Registered Name Holder, technical, and administrative contacts, in the context
of the purpose of WHOIS, and the purpose for which the data was collected. Use
the relevant definitions from Exhibit C of the Transfers Task force report as a
starting point<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(3) Determine what data
collected should be available for public access in the context of the purpose
of WHOIS. Determine how to access data that is not available for public
access.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(4) Determine how to improve the
process for notifying a registrar of inaccurate WHOIS data, and the process for
investigating and correcting inaccurate data. Currently a registrar
"shall, upon notification by any person of an inaccuracy in the contact
information associated with a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, take
reasonable steps to investigate that claimed inaccuracy. In the event Registrar
learns of<br>
inaccurate contact information associated with a Registered Name it sponsors,
it shall take reasonable steps to correct that inaccuracy."</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(5) Determine how to resolve
differences between a Registered Name Holder's, gTLD Registrar's, or gTLD
Registry's obligation to abide by all applicable laws and governmental
regulations that relate to the<br>
WHOIS service, as well as the obligation to abide by the terms of the
agreements with ICANN that relate to the WHOIS service. [Note this task refers
to the current work in the WHOIS task force called 'Recommendation 2', A
Procedure for conflicts, when there are conflicts between a registrar's of
registry's legal obligations under local privacy laws and their contractual
obligations to ICANN.]<br>
