Advice Recommendation 2 </a><br>
2 Purpose of Whois &ndash; questions for public forum in Luxembourg<br>
  <a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00375.html";>Initial list 
of questions regarding purpose<br>
  <br>
</a><a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00376.html";><strong>Policy 
and Advice Recommendation 2 </strong></a></font>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Steve Metalitz 
</strong>reported that he had worked with Kathy Kleiman  to divide  the 
recommendation into a policy recommendation and advice on the procedure that 
the ICANN staff could use in implementation Most of the <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00376.html";>present 
document</a> was drawn from earlier versions.<br> 
The goals listed  for the procedure  include: </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">a. Ensuring that ICANN staff is 
informed of a conflict at the earliest appropriate juncture;</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">b. Resolving the conflict, if 
possible, in a manner conducive to stability and uniformity of the Whois 
system;<br>
this is the level playing field</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">c. Providing a mechanism for the 
recognition, in appropriate circumstances where the conflict cannot be 
otherwise resolved, of an exception to contractual obligations with regard to 
collection, display and distribution of personally identifiable data via Whois; 
and </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">d. Preserving sufficient 
flexibility for ICANN staff to respond to particular factual situations as they 
arise.<br>
  (c and d grew out of a discussion with the staff, letting staff respond to 
situations as they arose.) 
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Part two is identical to what it 
was before.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Kathy Kleiman</strong> 
commented that the text of the procedure still contained the <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00223.html";>previous edits,  
e.g. from Tom Keller </a>which could be discussed by the task force. The  four 
high level goals would  be part of the consensus policy.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Ross Rader </strong>asked 
for an explanation on  the notion of the &quot;level playing field&quot;.<br>
    <strong>Steve  Metalitz </strong>explained that it came from postings to 
the combined task force list and Jordyn Buchanan added that it reflected  the 
registrars' concern that the procedure had the potential to create competitive 
imbalances.<br>
    <strong>Kathy Kleiman</strong> added that it also concerned stability and 
uniformity and captured language about the level playing field that Task Force 
2 had  been discussing. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Ross Rader</strong> 
commented that the term &quot; whois system &quot; should be broadened for the 
staff to apply the guidelines in a broader context and he suggested  further 
consultation with his constituency.<br>
  Constituency statements usually took 2 to 4 weeks to develop.
  <br>
  <br>
  <strong>Jordyn Buchanan </strong>suggested working Ross Rader's concern on 
the mailing list and then making a call for constituency statements on the 
policy recommendation and the advice on the  procedure at the same time.<br>
  <br>
<br>
Where does this fit in with the<a 
href="http://www.icann.org/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws-08apr05.htm#AnnexA";> 
policy development process (PDP) in the ICANN Bylaws</a>?<br>
 The PDP requires constituency statements: <br>
 <B><a 
href="http://www.icann.org/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws-08apr05.htm#AnnexA";>6. 
Public Notification of Initiation of the PDP<br>
</a></B></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">After initiation of 
the PDP, ICANN shall post a notification of such action to the Website. A 
public comment period shall be commenced for the issue for a period of twenty 
(20) calendar days after initiation of the PDP. The Staff Manager, or some 
other designated representative of ICANN shall review the public comments and 
incorporate them into a report (the "Public Comment Report") to be included in 
either the Preliminary Task Force Report or the Initial Report, as 
applicable.</font></p>

 Force 3</a>  constituency statements were not germane to the specific policy 
<a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00376.html";>recommendation 
2</a>.</font> <br>
  <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In November 2004 the <a 
href="http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/whois-tf-conflict-30nov04.pdf";>recommendation
 2</a> was <a 
href="http://www.gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/dow1-2tf/msg00183.html";>responded
 to by Paul Verhoef</a>. ICANN General Counsel and senior staff discussed the 
recommendation with the combined Whois task force on <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00094.html";>March 15, 
2005</a> . There has been no public comment period.<br>
  Thus, step 6 in the PDP process is being revisited which will enable the GNSO 
policy officer to incorporate the constituency statements and provide a 
preliminary report that will be posted for public comment. <br>
  <br>
  <strong>Jordyn Buchanan proposed the following timelines:</strong><br>
  - 
  allowing one week for additional  edits from the task force on <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00376.html";>recommendation 2, 
policy and procedure</a>  before  constituency comments were requested <br>
 - <strong>Tuesday 21  JUNE 2005</strong> - aim to distribute the 
recommendation to constituencies for formal comment. <br>
 - <strong>Thursday 21 JULY
 2005</strong> - Deadline for constituency responses.<br>
 <strong>Next step:</strong><br>
 <strong>Maria Farrell</strong> will draft a preliminary report and it will be 
determined whether or not any changes to the recommendations are appropriate in 
light of the constituency statements.<br>
 <br>
  <strong>Tuesday 2 AUGUST 2005 </strong>- Target date for task force to vote 
on recommendations
    in the preliminary report, and to make it available for public comments. 
<br> 
    <strong>Tuesday 23 AUGUST</strong> Public comment period ends. Consider 
whether any modifications needed to be made to the recommendations in light of 
the public comment. <br>
  If not, a Final Report that incorporates the public comments would be 
forwarded to the GNSO Council, probably at the end of August.<br>
  <br>
  <strong>Maria Farrell</strong> proposed sending the <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00376.html";>recommendation 2 
</a>to ICANN General and Deputy Counsel at the same time as it would be sent 
for constituency statements. <br>
  <br>
  <strong><a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00392.html";>Summary 1 
Recommendation 2 on conflicts with national laws</a></strong></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Steve Metalitz and Kathy Kleiman 
had circulated their revised draft to the mailing list several days previously. 
As requested by the task force, they divided the document into a recommendation 
and a procedure staff could use to implement it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The text of the procedure still 
contains the edits suggested previously - e.g. by Tom Keller &ndash; and the 
drafters have not amended these.<br>
    <br>
The current version of the recommendation was sent by Kathy Kleiman to the list 
on Monday, 13 June (subject line: Fwd: [gnso-dow123] Policy and Advice: 
Recommendation 2)<br>
<br>
Decisions</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The task force has one week to 
comment on and finalize it for circulation for constituency statements. <br>
  As the previous public comments on the relevant task force were not germane 
to this recommendation, we will solicit constituency statements pursuant to 
section 7(d) of the PDP. <br>
  Once we have received constituency statements, Maria Farrell will craft a 
draft preliminary report and we will determine whether or not any changes to 
the recommendations are appropriate in light of the constituency statements. 
<br>
  August 2 is the target date to vote on the recommendations in the preliminary 
report, and to make it available for public comments. At that point, a public 
comment period begins which should run through about August 23. <br>
The task force then would consider whether any modifications need to be made to 
the recommendations in light of the public comment. If no modifications are 
needed,a Final Report that incorporates the public comments would be forwarded 
to the GNSO Council, probably at the end of August 2005.<br>
<br>
Actions</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jordyn will send a <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00383.html";>note to the task 
force outlining the steps to be taken</a>. (This was done immediately after the 
task force call on 14 June, 2005). <br>
  Maria to assist Jordyn in determining if no round of constituency comments 
more germane to this recommendation has already been conducted. <br>
  Initial suggestions will be submitted no later than June 16, and further 
edits may take place over the following few days. <br>
  On Tuesday 21 June the recommendation will be distributed to constituencies 
for formal comments. Deadline for responses will be July 21. <br>
  Ross Rader to submit his comments on the use of the term &lsquo;the whois 
system&rsquo;. <br>

<strong>2. Purpose of Whois &ndash; questions for public forum in Luxembourg<br>

Luxembourg on<a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00375.html";> 
task 1 and 2 of the terms of reference</a><br>
  Task 
  1,  Define the purpose of the WHOIS service in the context of ICANN's mission 
and 
  relevant core values<br>
  Task 
  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.<br> 
  Two ways were proposed: <br>
  -
  gathering input on answering the questions or  <br>
  - 
  reviewing data items from the past. <br>
  Past work includes:<br>
  - 
   the original WHOIS task force co-chaired by Marilyn Cade and Tony Harris <a

 force 2</a> did a survey soliciting public comment on the uses of WHOIS <br>

href="http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm";>Transfers 
task force defined uses of WHOIS 
      </a><br>
  - recently 
  Maria Farrell's work on the <a 
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-dow123/msg00384.html";>uses of WHOIS 
data</a>  <br>
  <br>
  The issues were broken into 
   three subsets, <br>
   1. 
   the uses of the WHOIS, which may or may not be distinct from the purpose of 
WHOIS. <br>
   2. 
   work intended to define the purpose of whois<br>
   3. 
   the ways various people make use of the various contacts.<br>
   <br>
  There seemed to be general agreement that sufficient data had been gathered 
on the uses of WHOIS.<br>
To articulate or define the purpose of WHOIS was one of the tasks in the terms 
of reference, and as Tim Ruiz and David Maher suggested it was a policy issue 
which  could be worked on in the task force.</font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Kathy  Kleiman 
</strong>disagreed and believed that the purpose of WHOIS had not been 
sufficiently examined because, firstly, it was set as a task in the terms of 
reference and secondly it was a term of art in the European Union (EU) 
Directive. The purpose should be seen in the terms of ICANN's mission, and  in 
relation to the EU Directive. &quot;Purpose&quot; was an important criteria and 
a legal term, and not a collection of uses, thus the constituencies should be 
consulted.<br>
  <br>
<strong>Milton Mueller</strong> suggested asking what was the purpose of the 
WHOIS system as it contributed to ICANN's mission. International laws affecting 
privacy or WHOIS  were constraints external to the WHOIS system and ICANN 
itself that had to be respected but it would be  useful, as an exercise, to 
examine &quot;given ICANN's mission and core values, what do we want the 
purpose of WHOIS to be in ICANN's mission ?&quot; A data protection law expert  
could be invited to explain some of the interpretations of how purpose has been 
used in the past as a factual matter when referring to terms such as databases 
and data collection.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Ross Rader</strong>  
believed that the task force  should be directly  engaged in the  
question.,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>David Fares</strong> 
cautioned that two concepts were being  blurred:<br>
  at the 
international level, purpose specification on privacy was related to data 
collection. <br>
the issue regarding use of that data. <br>
What the task force was concerned about was the purpose of WHOIS which should 
be kept separate.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Kathy  
Kleiman</font></strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> supported by 
<strong>Maggie Mansourkia </strong>suggested soliciting expert advice before 
the constituencies were asked to respond and emphasised that the intention was 
to ask an expert  to define and frame what that question was and how the task 
force answer would be interpreted. There were many groups that examined the 
legal purpose of information collection and its use, however this was a foreign 
concept under US law but not under European law.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Steve Metalitz</strong> 
agreed that the constituencies should be asked to comment on  <a 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/policies/terms-of-reference.html";>task 1</a>  but 
had reserves about it being useful as a public forum topic on the purpose of 
WHOIS at the Luxembourg meetings and believed the one area still to be explored 
was law enforcement's uses of the WHOIS.</font> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, 
sans-serif">He mentioned the <a 
href="http://www.icann.org/presentations/mithal-whois-workshop-24jun03.pdf";>presentation
 at the ICANN meetings in Montreal</a>, in June 2003 by Maneesha Mithal of the 
Federal Trade commission<br>
  <br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Jordyn 
Buchanan</strong> summarised:<br>
  - request constituency positions on the purpose of WHOIS within the context 
of ICANN's mission, <a 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/policies/terms-of-reference.html";>task 1</a>. <br>
  - whether to include this as a topic for the GNSO public forum in 
Luxembourg<br>
- whether to seek expert input on the purposes </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Ross Rader 
</strong>expressed concern about the time that would be spent consulting the 
constituencies thought that there should be a conversation between the task 
force members about the issue and have them consult their constituencies and 
broader consultation could be provided during the public comment period<br>
  <br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Jordyn 
Buchanan</strong> summarised the proposal generally agreed upon:<br>
  - Requesting constituency statements on <a 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/policies/terms-of-reference.html";>task one, the 
purpose of WHOIS in the context of ICANN's mission<br>
  </a>Time frame 21 July 2005 <br>
  - In parallel, examine what should be done on the definition of 
&quot;purpose&quot;, data collection by Maria Farrell on the definition of 
purpose in EU law and other jurisdictions
and if appropriate have outside advisors provide information. However this 
discussion should be deferred. </font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/policies/terms-of-reference.html";>Task 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. 
</a>&ndash; ok, let&rsquo;s move on to our Jordyn Buchanan proposed <br>
- 
calling for constituency statements due at the same time as those for task 1<br>
- referring to the definition of the contacts provided by the<a 
href="http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm";> Transfer 
policy report,</a> surveying the constituencies as to how members populate that 
data to ascertain the current usage independently of the definitions. For 
example what types of people are put in the technical contact role, are the 
registrant and administrative role the same? </font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Steve Metalitz</strong> 
suggested broadening the enquiry to include registrants, Registries and 
Registrars. Particularly the registrars to find out whether they provide 
guidance to the registrants about who to fill in for the various 
contacts.</font></p>
<p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ross 
Rader</font></strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">, providing some 
historical information, commented that  the definition from the <a 
href="http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm";>Transfers 
task force </a>came from multiple definitions from the community and not from 
the original work of the task force.<br>
He suggested presenting the definition as described in the <a 
href="http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm";>Transfer 
Policy Report</a> and asking the Registrar constituency what they were doing, 
and  Jordyn Buchanan suggested asking whether there was a default response that 
went into the fields.<br>
<br>
<strong>David Farres </strong>reminded Jordyn Buchanan of<strong> Marilyn 
Cade's</strong> questions as she was not able to be on the call and it was 
agreed that they had been answered during the discussions.</font></p>
