RE: [gnso-rapimpl-dt] For review - updated letter to the GNSO Council

["Joi White" <jwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

I would like to flag the issue of the inter-relatedness of the UDRP and Whois 
data in our letter. The current state of the availability and accuracy of Whois 
data is critical to an analysis of the effectiveness of the UDRP, since it 
directly impacts the claims that can be made in a UDRP complaint (e.g. whether 
the registrant has demonstrated a pattern of behavior) and whether the 
registrant can be identified at all.

 

It seems that any road-mapping activity related to the UDRP will necessarily 
have some dependency on Whois accessibility and accuracy, and any ongoing Whois 
reform efforts or studies recommending reform. At minimum, I don’t see any harm 
in identifying this relationship for the GNSO Council.

 

Best,

-Joi

Dear all,

I recall the WhoIs dependency being raised by, I believe, Mary and she had a 
bad connection and was unable to fully expound upon the issue; however, Joi 
then brought up the issue for discussion in a subsequent call. 

It would seem to make sense for this to be a dependency if for no other reason, 
accurate WhoIs information often detrimentally impacts the overall 
effectiveness of the UDRP. 

Best regards,

Lisa

Hi all,

 

Greg,

·         +1 on your 1st bullet.

·         +1 on your 2nd bullet.  I checked the old matrix responses and could 
not find mention of a WHOIS dependency to Cybersquatting, nor do I recall how 
it was added.  It must have been during our discussions on the call.  I do not 
agree that this is a dependency and should be removed.

 

One other bit of feedback on the letter…..

 

Because we have 5 recommendations labeled with “Refer to Council,” I suggest we 
be more explicit in advising the GNSO Council what “Refer to Council” really 
means.  I reference the 4th sentence in the Recommended Approach section.  I 
think it will benefit to advise the Council that they should perform the 
following:

1.       review each section of the RAP Final report that corresponds to 
recommendation, where significant consensus was not achieved

2.       request for additional input or research to become better informed of 
the recommendation (optional)

3.       and then vote  the recommendation up or down and bring closure

4.       any others we should include???

 

…and now for a question of probability….

 

Not having experienced how the GNSO Council approves or declines multiple 
recommendations from a pre-PDP, I begin to ponder the possibility of a 
recommendation with “unanimous consensus” from the RAP WG and High 
prioritization by the RAPIMP team NOT being passed by the GNSO Council.  We 
were chartered with prioritizing recommendations that had yet to be approved or 
denied for action; so I am curious if there were underlying assumptions to 
priority assignments where unanimous consensus correlated to Council approval.

 

Many kudos to Marika, Greg & Mikey for this effort.  In fact, I think this 
should be defined as a closing deliverable for all PDP Final reports before 
submission to Council.

Hello; two items:

 

1.       Under the Malicious Use entry, the notes say “Preference for PDP 
approach even if desired outcome is not policy but best practices.”  The “if” 
is confusing, since it accidentally implies that policy is a possible outcome.  
 I suggest: “Preference to use PDP process; outcome to be best practices.”

 

2.       Cybersquatting: the notes section says “There may be a dependency with 
WHOIS studies.”  I can’t remember what that dependency was.  Can anyone refresh 
my memory?

 

All best,

--Greg
