  Agenda </strong><br>
  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>
  3. Review Council discussion and terms of reference<br>
  4. Discuss work plan in light of the new terms of reference<br>
  5. Planning for Luxembourg meetings - GNSO Public Forum <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 
&amp; 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 
&amp; 3 together, 4 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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>

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 
&quot;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.&quot;</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>
