[pdp-pcceg-feb06] current proposal - take 2
hi, This is my latest version. I tried to incorporate what I heard in the meeting. Please spend a few moments reviewing it and offering any necessary suggested word changes. In order to get this into the current draft Final Report, the 'drop dead' date is 8 Feb UTC 2400 thanks a. 5a Examine whether or not there should be a policy regarding the use of registry data for purposes other than for which it was collected, and if so, what the elements of that policy should be. 5b. Determine whether any policy is necessary to ensure non- discriminatory access to registry data that is made available to third parties. In order to determine whether there is a need for a new consensus policy on the collection and use of registry data, including traffic data, for purposes other then which is was collected, there is first a need for a properly targeted study by an independent third party on the data collected and the uses to which it is put. The study should provide appropriate safeguards to protect any data provided for the purposes of the study, and the confidentiality of which registry, or other group, provides the data. The findings of the study should be published and available for public review. A SOW should be developed by the GNSO council, with appropriate public review, to cover an analysis of the concerns for data collection and use, the practice involved in collection and use of data - including traffic data, and the availability, when appropriate, for non disciminatory access to that data. It is recommended that a current processes document be developed, describing the current Registry practices for the collection of data and the uses of that data; e.g. but not limited to, operating the registry; preparing marketing materials to promote registration of domain names; gathering of ‘null’ returns, ensuring the integrity of the Registry, or the DNS. This report should be available to the group doing the external study and should be made available to the public for comment. After examining the results of the independent study and public discussions recommended above, the GNSO council should examine the findings and determine what, if any, further policy process is required. |
