Of course, Mikey. I just wanted to make sure my edits were self-explanatory
to you all and will leave the editing to you and Berry.

extra layer of parentheses in your revised "Data Availability" section,
right?).

I share Tony's concern and have taken the liberty of marking up the latest
version of the draft Charter for your review and consideration.

 

As I previously commented during one of our calls, the 2013 RAA and the new
gTLD Registry Agreement require contracted parties to collect abuse data and
provide such data to ICANN upon request (see excerpts below). I hope my
suggested edits make sense in light of these new (and onerous) obligations
on contracted parties and the new (and powerful) compliance tools that were
not previously available to ICANN. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Pam

2013 RAA

3.18 Registrar's Abuse Contact and Duty to Investigate Reports of Abuse.

3.18.1 Registrar shall maintain an abuse contact to receive reports of abuse
involving Registered Names sponsored by Registrar, including reports of
Illegal Activity. Registrar shall publish an email address to receive such
reports on the home page of Registrar's website (or in another standardized
place that may be designated by ICANN from time to time). Registrar shall
take reasonable and prompt steps to investigate and respond appropriately to
any reports of abuse.

3.18.2 Registrar shall establish and maintain a dedicated abuse point of
contact, including a dedicated email address and telephone number that is
monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to receive reports of Illegal
Activity by law enforcement, consumer protection, quasi-governmental or
other similar authorities designated from time to time by the national or
territorial government of the jurisdiction in which the Registrar is
established or maintains a physical office. Well-founded reports of Illegal
Activity submitted to these contacts must be reviewed within 24 hours by an
individual who is empowered by Registrar to take necessary and appropriate
actions in response to the report. In responding to any such reports,
Registrar will not be required to take any action in contravention of
applicable law.

3.18.3 Registrar shall publish on its website a description of its
procedures for the receipt, handling, and tracking of abuse reports.
Registrar shall document its receipt of and response to all such reports.
Registrar shall maintain the records related to such reports for the shorter
of two (2) years or the longest period permitted by applicable law, and
during such period, shall provide such records to ICANN upon reasonable
notice.

New gTLD Registry Agreement, Specification 11 (PUBLIC INTEREST COMMITMENTS)

 

b.     Registry Operator will periodically conduct a technical analysis to
assess whether domains in the TLD are being used to perpetrate security
threats, such as pharming, phishing, malware, and botnets. Registry Operator
will maintain statistical reports on the number of security threats
identified and the actions taken as a result of the periodic security
checks. Registry Operator will maintain these reports for the term of the
Agreement unless a shorter period is required by law or approved by ICANN,
and will provide them to ICANN upon request.

Mikey - 

 

I read over the draft again last night and a question occurred to me:  we
identify as Out of Scope "Problem-report tracking - transparent processes to
collect, analyze and publish summaries of valid policy-violation reports,
the root-causes of the problems and their final disposition".  My concern is
whether this suggests to the WG that aggregate numbers of UDRPs or URSs or
other means by which abuse trends might be captured, are meant to be
excluded from the universe of desirable metrics.

 

If you/the team share this concern, perhaps it could be re-worded as
"Problem-report tracking - transparent processes to collect, analyze and
publish summaries of valid policy-violation reports and/or analyses of the
root-causes of the problems and their final disposition, in contrast with
underlying data concerning, e.g., the reported frequency of an abuse"  

 

Thanks very much for all your hard work on this.

 

Best,

 

Tony

Mikey beat me to the New Year announcement!  Welcome to 2014, all!

 

I agree that by the close of this week and if no one objects, we forward the
Charter and Draft Motion to the Council by the 13 Jan 2014, 23:59 UTC
deadline.  Because this is a motion for the Council to consider, Mikey you
should submit it as the maker of the motion and ask for a second.

 

I will send Mikey final versions of the report and motion on Friday morning.

 

Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

 

Thank you.  B

hi all,

 

welcome back from the holidays.  just in time to take a last look at the
draft charter.  let's say that if we get to the end of the week without
anybody raising an issue, we've got us a final draft - and that Berry can
push the draft and the resolution along to Council?  sound OK?  Berry, i
snuck my revised version of the motion into this pile...

Subject: [gnso-metrep-wg] GNSO MetRep - Charter - Draft Final

Date: December 18, 2013 at 11:10:40 PM CST

To: <gnso-metrep-wg@xxxxxxxxx>

 

WG Members,

 

Please find attached version v0.7 of our draft charter.  I also included a
clean version for easier review.  Pending any other suggested changes, this
version is what will be sent to the GNSO Council the week prior to the GNSO
Documents and Motions deadline of 13 Jan 2014.  Basically, we have until 8
Jan 2014 should we need to deliberate any changes.  Please consider the work
tasked to the future WG over the holidays and respond back to the list if
you think we missed something.

 

I also included a draft of the motion for the GNSO Council to approve the
charter after they discuss it on the 23 Jan 2014 GNSO Council meeting.
Should the Council approve the charter, we will conduct a call for
volunteers for the Working Group.  I suspect most members here intend to
participate on the WG, but for those that may choose not participate, please
let me know and I can have you removed from the mailing list.

 

Lastly, I attached the high-level, proposed work plan once the call for
volunteers concludes and the WG would tentatively begin.  This is not a set
schedule, but it should give you an idea of the WG's schedule over the
coming months leading up to Singapore and subsequently London.

 

I wish everyone a great holiday.  Should you have any questions, please
reach out to me.

 

Thank you.  B
