View source for Documentary Information Disclosure Policy

ICANN's '''Documentary Information Disclosure Policy''' ('''DIDP''') is intended to ensure that [[ICANN]] makes available to the public information contained in documents concerning ICANN's operations and within ICANN's possession, custody, or control unless there is a compelling reason for confidentiality. 
==Overview==
The DIDP is a fundamental component of ICANN's efforts at fulfilling its commitment to [[transparency]]. Anyone can request documents by emailing ICANN at didp [@] icann.org. ICANN will respond to the request within 30 calendar days. ICANN will inform the requester in writing as to when a response will be provided if the organization cannot respond within the first month and explain why the extension is necessary. If ICANN denies the information request, it will provide a written statement identifying the reasons for the denial. If requestors want to appeal their decision, they can file a [[Reconsideration]] request. ICANN posts all requests and responses on its [https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/transparency-en website].

==DIDP Process==
The DIDP process is a series of steps taken after each request is submitted:

# Upon receipt of a DIDP Request, an ICANN staffer reviews the request and identifies the information requested, who may be in possession of or have knowledge of the information.
# The ICANN staffer then interviews the relevant staff members and performs a document search.
# The ICANN staffer collects the documents and reviews whether they answer the questions asked in the request and/or are subject to the Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure.
# If the document falls under any of the Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure, a review is conducted as to whether the [[Global Public Interest|public interest]] in disclosing the documentary information outweighs the harm that may be caused by such disclosure.
# Documents that are responsive and appropriate for public disclosure are posted on ICANN’s website. If ICANN deems a document's disclosure to be premature, ICANN will indicate it in its response to the request and notify the requestor when the document is posted.
# The ICANN staffer prepares an email response to the DIDP Request and posts the request and response and Request to the DIDP page.<ref name="processdoc">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/didp-response-process-29oct13-en.pdf DIDP Response Process, ICANN Resources]</ref>

These steps are strictly interpreted, and the process contains a number of intrinsic rationales for rejection of portions or all of a DIDP request. These threshold considerations can result in partial or full rejection of a given DIDP request. The request must ask for ''documents'' that are: ''in ICANN's control or custody''; ''not publicly available'' at the time of the request; ''responsive'' to the request; and ''not subject to Defined Conditions of Disclosure''. 
* ''Documents'' are defined as existing, written records. Documents that do not exist cannot be produced<ref>See, e.g., [https://www.icann.org/en/about/transparency/20111207-1/gunnarson-response-06jan12-en.pdf DIDP 20111207-1], requesting documents that did not (yet) exist</ref> If there is information that would be responsive to the request if they existed in documentary form, or that could be compiled from other existing documents to respond to the request, ICANN is not responsible for creating or compiling those documents.<ref>See, e.g., [https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cis-response-21jan15-en.pdf DIDP 20141222-1], responding that creation of financial reports responsive to the request would be "burdensome" and also not ICANN's responsibility under the policy; and [https://www.icann.org/en/about/transparency/20120315-1/kirikos-response-13apr12-en.pdf DIDP 21020315-1], requesting "all correspondence" that had not been posted on ICANN's correspondence page (no obligation to compile)</ref>
* ''In ICANN's control or custody'' generally means that ICANN, in the course of its operations, either received and retained documents from other parties, or generated them in fulfillment of a specific mandate or objective. ICANN will reject requests for documentary information that it does not control.<ref> See, e.g., [https://www.icann.org/en/about/transparency/20110411-1/duke-response-11may11-en.pdf DIDP 20110411-1] from the Free Speech Coalition, inquiring about the board composition & officers of another outside entity</ref> Even in situations where ICANN is participating in a collaborative process, if the records of the process are stored outside of ICANN, a DIDP request will be met with a negative response.<ref>See, e.g., [https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cis-netmundial-response-27jan15-en.pdf DIDP 20141228-1-NETmundial]: "Although ICANN is one of the founding members of the Initiative, the NETmundial Initiative is not a part of ICANN...Information on the
operations of the NETmundial Initiative is not housed within ICANN; it is available on the NETmundial Initiative website at https://www.netmundial.org/."</ref>
* ''Not publicly available'' is a requirement that would seem straightforward. However, the quantity and breadth of information available is a challenge. As ICANN's 2021 Transparency Report notes: "Over ICANN’s history, the Board, community, and org have produced and accumulated thousands of pieces of unstructured content spread across 38 different public sites. This content continues to grow by up to 30% each year. The org currently surfaces this content through multiple unconnected platforms with differing foundational technologies that are non-scalable, may be vulnerable, and are no longer fit for purpose."<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/annual-report-2021-en.pdf ICANN Annual Report 2021], page 82</ref> The transparency and ease of access of "publicly available" information has been a topic of several specific and organizational [[ICANN Reviews|reviews]], as well as the [[Cross Community Working Group on Accountability]]. As a result, most responses to DIDP requests take pains to identify and provide links to publicly available information that may have escaped the notice of the requester. 
* The identification of ''responsive'' documents is the least problematic of the criteria defined by the process. The question of whether existing, nonpublic documents are responsive to the DIDP request appears to be straightforward for staff. However, many responsive documents may be withheld for other reasons.
* ''Defined Conditions of Nondisclosure'' are discussed in the next section.

ICANN's DIDP policy reinforces these "threshold" reasons for declining requests. The policy specifies that "ICANN shall not be required to create or compile summaries of any documented information, and shall not be required to respond to requests seeking information that is already publicly available."<ref name="didppolicy" /> In many responses to DIDP requests, ICANN often cites this section in responding to elements of the request.

==Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure==
ICANN does not disclose documentary information that is:<ref name="didppolicy">[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/didp-2012-02-25-en DIDP, ICANN Resources]</ref>
# from a government or international organization if it would prejudice ICANN's relationship with that party.
# internal and would compromise ICANN's deliberative decision-making process by inhibiting communication with [[ICANN Board]] directors, [[ICANN Organization|advisors, staff, consultants, contractors, or agents]].
# prepared for exchange between ICANN, its constituents, and/or other entities with which ICANN cooperates that would compromise the decision-making process between them
# personnel, medical, contractual, remuneration, or similar records or internal appeals mechanisms and investigations that would constitute an invasion of [[Data Privacy|personal privacy]]
# provided to ICANN that would materially prejudice the party's commercial, financial, and/or competitive interests or is pursuant to a nondisclosure agreement
# confidential business information and/or internal policies and procedures
# likely to endanger the life, health, or safety of any individual or materially prejudice the administration of justice
# subject to attorney-client privilege, or any other applicable privilege
# a draft of correspondence, reports, documents, agreements, contracts, emails, or any other form of communication
# related to the [[SSR|security and stability]] of the Internet, including the operation of the [[Root Server Operator|L Root]] or any changes, modifications, or additions to the [[Root Zone|root zone]].
# a trade secret or commercial/financial information not publicly disclosed by ICANN
# in response to an unreasonable, overly burdensome, unfeasible, or abusive/vexatious request

These twelve situations are referred to in DIDP policy documents and responses as Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure.<ref name="didppolicy" /> If one or more of the Defined Conditions apply to a document, staff is instructed to conduct a balancing test:
<blockquote>To the extent that any responsive documents fall within any Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure, a review is conducted as to whether, under the particular circumstances, the public interest in disclosing the documentary information outweighs the harm that may be caused by such disclosure.<ref name="processdoc" /></blockquote>

Although in theory the balancing test applies to all Defined Conditions for Nondisclosure, it is most frequently cited in assessment of conditions 2 and 3, where the conditions specifically address a risk of compromising ICANN board and org's ability to deliberate and make decisions.<ref>See Summary Tables for examples.</ref>

==History==
From 2007 to 2008, ICANN developed the original DIDP following its community consultation on the Accountability and Transparency Frameworks and Principles.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/new-organisational-frameworks-and-principles-17-10-2007 New Organizational Frameworks and Principles, Public Comment, ICANN]</ref> The first use of the DIDP was in September 2008, by [[Danny Younger]], who requested information about a couple of registrar accreditation applications submitted to ICANN.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/younger-response-24oct08-en.pdf Younger Request and Response, October 2008, DIDP Archive, ICANN]</ref>

In 2012, ICANN updated the policy following another community consultation. 
===2021 Proposed Changes===
In 2021, ICANN Org proposed the following changes.
# Delete: "NOTE: With the exception of personal email addresses, phone numbers and mailing addresses, DIDP Requests are otherwise posted in full on ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)’s website, unless there are exceptional circumstances requiring further redaction."
# Replace "appeal a denial of disclosure" with "seek review of ICANN’s DIDP Response"
# Add information on how to submit a request: "Any member of the public may submit a DIDP request to ICANN org. To submit a DIDP request, please send an email to didp@icann.org describing the documentary information you are seeking. Please provide as much detail as possible to identify the party submitting the request and the documents requested. If you have a question or need assistance with submitting a DIDP request, please contact the DIDP team at didp@icann.org."
# Include option for additional 30 days to original 30-day response window: "ICANN org will provide a written response to all DIDP requests, as soon as practicable within 30 calendar days of receipt of the request, unless it is not feasible to do so. If that time frame cannot be met, ICANN org will inform the requestor in writing as to when a response will be provided, which shall not be longer than an additional 30 calendar days and explain the reasons necessary for the extension of time to respond."
# Replace "Trade secrets and commercial and financial information not publicly disclosed by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)." with "Materials, including but not limited to, trade secrets, commercial and financial information, confidential business information, and internal policies and procedures, the disclosure of which could materially harm ICANN’s financial or business interests or the commercial interests of its stakeholders who have those interests. Where the disclosure of documentary information depends upon prior approval from a third party, ICANN org will contact the third party to determine whether they would consent to the disclosure in accordance with the DIDP Response Process."
# Add: "ICANN may choose to, however, create new documentary information to make public in response to a request under this DIDP as ICANN deems feasible and necessary if there is little to no information available on the ICANN website."
# Add periodic review: "ICANN will review the DIDP Policy and the DIDP Response Process every five years."<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/documentary-information-disclosure-policy-didp/proposed-update-to-the-didp-redline-en.pdf Proposed DIDP Update (Redline), Public Comment Documents for Review]</ref>
From October to December 2021, ICANN requested feedback on several proposed changes to the DIDP based on the [[Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability]] Work Stream 2 recommendations.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-revisions-to-the-icann-documentary-information-disclosure-policy-21-10-2021 Proposed Revisions to the ICANN  DIDP]</ref> 
On January 28, 2022, ICANN org released a summary report of the eight comments it received, five of which were from community groups and three from individuals, and all of which emphasized the role of the DIDP mechanism in raising ICANN's level of [[transparency]] and [[accountability]].<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/documentary-information-disclosure-policy-didp/summary-report-revisions-didp-28-01-2022-en.pdf Proposed Changes to DIDP Public Comment Summary Report, Jan 2022, ICANN Files]</ref> Only one commenter, [[Samwel Kariuki]], supported the proposed changes. One commenter, [[George Kirikos]] on behalf of [[Leap of Faith]], objected to the DIDP in its entirety, arguing that ICANN org should release all of its documentation. 
====Issues with Conditions of Nondisclosure====
[[Arif Ali]], [[Jan Janssen]], [[John Murino]], [[Michael Palage]], [[Flip Petillion]], and [[Mike Rodenbaugh]] together argued that the proposed DIDP revisions do not provide for disclosure of documents in redacted or severed form, do not require the provision of a rationale for withholding responsive information as recommended in WS2, ''decrease'' transparency, and, thus, are contrary to the WS2 recommendations and [[ICANN Bylaws]]. The [[BC]] recommended that DIDP responses either make the requested documents available or provide clear, specific reasons for nondisclosure. The [[ALAC]], [[RySG]], and [[TurnCommerce]] the trade secrets, commercial/financial information, and internal policies and procedures condition for nondisclosure is too broad. 
====Issues with the Process====
[[Ephraim Percy Kenyanito]], on behalf of [[Article 19]], recommended that ICANN org commit to publishing a DIDP request as soon as it is received. ICANN org will consider this suggestion but noted that it would not need to reflect it within the DIDP in order for it to become part of ICANN org’s practice, and it would not change the DIDP on this issue.<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/documentary-information-disclosure-policy-didp/summary-report-revisions-didp-28-01-2022-en.pdf Proposed Changes to DIDP Public Comment Summary Report, Jan 2022, ICANN Files]</ref> 
====Issues with Review/Challenge Mechanisms====
The ALAC, A19, BC, Leap of Faith, and RySG supported expanding the role of the Ombudsman to include providing the mechanism for requestors seeking review of DIDP responses. The ALAC recommended that the DIDP and responses refer requestors to review mechanisms for challenging DIDP responses. The BC suggested a 30-day window within which a requester can seek a review of a denial of disclosure. The BC suggested that requestors submit a request for review and the reason for denial of disclosure, which the Ombudsman should assess within 30 days of receipt. The BC said the Ombuds’ review should be published as advisory to the ICANN org, with 14 days to respond. The RySG stated that the Ombuds would likely have to recuse themselves from any [[Reconsideration]] request challenging a DIDP response they had reviewed and the [[Complaints Officer]] may be better suited for this role.<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/documentary-information-disclosure-policy-didp/summary-report-revisions-didp-28-01-2022-en.pdf Proposed Changes to DIDP Public Comment Summary Report, Jan 2022, ICANN Files]</ref>

===Outcomes of DIDP Requests===
Since the initiation of the DIDP process, 166 DIDP requests have been filed. Of those, 78 requests were declined, 45 were responded to with links to public information and context, and 41 resulted in the disclosure of some amount of information.

==Criticism==
* As part of the [[Public Comment]] proceedings for [https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-revisions-to-the-icann-documentary-information-disclosure-policy-21-10-2021 ICANN's proposed revisions to its current DIDP], 
::* The [[RySG|Registries Stakeholder Group]] noted that the conditions for nondisclosure would be broader; advised that any additional DIDP roles for the Ombudsman should not remove or replace the Reconsideration Request process; requested clarification on community members', and the Ombuds' resultant, procedures for appealing to DIDP responses; and recommended that the Complaint’s Officer should be the home for additional review of DIDP Responses.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-revisions-to-the-icann-documentary-information-disclosure-policy-21-10-2021/submissions/rysg-registries-stakeholder-group-13-12-2021 RySG Submission to Proposed DIDP Changes, Public Comment, ICANN]</ref> 
::* [[ALAC]] expressed concern that the changes would grant "ICANN the right to refuse any and all requests." It warned that ICANN should not use DIDP to "cover up its errors or poor judgement." Finally, the committee submission recommended that ICANN:
::*# Allow Ombuds to oversee the mechanism for requestor review of ICANN DIDP responses;
::*# Document in DIDP Policy recourse when DIDP is not fully satisfied; and
::*# Revise the new language on conditions for nondisclosure.<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/forms/publiccomment/submission/AL-ALAC-ST-1221-01-00-EN.pdf ALAC Submission on Proposed DIDP Changes, Public Comment, ICANN]</ref>
::* [[Kevin Murphy]] summarized various community members' and collectives' critiques as accusing ICANN of "shirk its transparency obligations" by granting greater ability to deny requests without any explanation.<ref>[https://domainincite.com/27342-icann-trying-to-water-down-its-transparency-obligations ICANN trying to water down its transparency obligations, DomainIncite]</ref> 
* Dr. [[Sarah Clayton]] argues that the 12 defined conditions of non-disclosure (DCND) "essentially provide an administrative loophole for ICANN to restrict the free flow of information."<ref>[http://sunbelt2016.insna.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-Sunbelt-Program_040516_FINAL_wchange-for-online.pdf International Sunbelt Social Network Conference 2016]</ref> Furthermore, her statistical p* models demonstrate that 
*# [[ICANN Organization]] considers lengthier submissions to be more likely to request contentious information and are more likely to apply DCND to them
*# ICANN [[Stakeholder Groups]]/[[Working Group]]s are more likely to receive DCND in every condition category, except the "Affects Individual" condition
*# "Burdensome conditions" are rarely imposed on [[:Category:Legal Practices|law firms]], which tend to request precise information about a specific case
*# [[Registrant]]s are less likely to receive ICANN "Integrity" conditions as they are more concerned about their own domain name registrations than about ICANN  
*# "Confidential External Business Information" conditions are less likely to be imposed on internet [[:Category:Non-Profit|non-profits]], as they are more interested in ICANN’s interface with [[Internet Governance]] than third-party business interests.<ref>[http://sunbelt2016.insna.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-Sunbelt-Program_040516_FINAL_wchange-for-online.pdf International Sunbelt Social Network Conference 2016]</ref>
* Indian stakeholders have cited difficulties in accessing documents under DIDP and asked for greater transparency.<ref>[https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Expression/IntOrganizations/CCG_NLU.pdf Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University, Delhi Submission to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Speech and Expression: Study on Access to Information in International Organizations pg. 5]</ref>  
** [[Padmini Baruah]], of [[The Centre for Internet and Society]], explains that ICANN deflects most requests for information, using clauses about internal processes, stakeholder discussions, protecting financial interests of third parties (cited in over 50% of the responses up to 2016) to avoid disclosing its [[Contractual Compliance]] audits and reports of abuse to [[registrar]]s. Baruah's complaint is that because ICANN regulates a global public good, it should be far more open.<ref name="baruah">[https://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/peering-behind-the-veil-of-icanns-didp-ii Padmini Baruah, Peering behind the veil of ICANN's DIDP (II), CIS-India]</ref> 
** Baruah presented on this topic at an [[NCUC]] session during [[ICANN 55]], and [[George Sadowsky]] was invited to comment on her findings. He noted that there were some discrepancies between Baruah's assessments of the history of the DIDP mechanism and ICANN staff's assessment of the same history.<ref>[https://meetings.icann.org/en/marrakech55/schedule/tue-ncuc/transcript-ncuc-08mar16-en ICANN 55 Archive - Transcript, Non Commercial Users Constituency Meeting], March 8, 2016 (starting at page 59) (PDF)</ref> Baruah subsequently submitted a DIDP request in an attempt to reconcile her analysis with that of ICANN staff. ICANN responded in part:
<blockquote> In several instances, your characterizations of “no” or “partly” disclosed are either mistaken, do not acknowledge the information and documents identified as publicly posted, do not take into consideration the nature of the requests and the existence (or lack thereof) of responsive documents, and/or do not consider the balancing required between the public benefit and the potential harm of requested disclosures.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/didp-20160423-5-cis-response-21may16-en.pdf ICANN Staff response to DIDP Request 20161024-4], May 21, 2016 (PDF)</ref></blockquote>
ICANNWiki editors' own work reviewing DIDP requests for the Summary Tables below did find that some of Baruah's assessments of staff responsiveness to requests were technically inaccurate for various reasons. However, it is notable that those inaccuracies more often erred on the side of "responsiveness," rather than refusal to submit information. This is in part because of ICANN's efforts to ensure that every DIDP response provides links to publicly available documents (which are, strictly speaking, not disclosures of documentary information). Baruah tended to note these responses as "partly" providing information under the policy.<ref name="baruah" />

| The request made efforts to preempt possible conditions of nondisclosure. However, from the ICANN response: "Although your analysis in the Request concluded that no Conditions for Nondisclosure should apply, ICANN must independently undertake the analysis of each Condition as it applies to the documentation at issue, and make the final determination as to whether any Nondisclosure Conditions apply. Here, for example, ICANN cannot violate contractual conditions that require ICANN to maintain items as confidential solely because the Request proffers that no such conditions apply. Similarly, ICANN does not release draft documentation – particularly if draft documentation was shared for the purpose of facilitating deliberations or decision making – because drafts are not reliable sources of information regarding what actually occurred or standards that were actually applied."

While millions of queries per day is manageable from an operational perspective, it is prudent for ICANN to make applicants aware of the potential for inherited traffic so they are prepared to manage the volume, and will thus minimize the possibility of operational difficulties that would pose a stability or availability problem for their registrants and users.

| "As explained in ICANN organization’s 27 April 2018 response email to you, the concept of a confidentiality agreement for the disclosure of documents through the DIDP runs afoul of the DIDP itself, which is to make public documents concerning ICANN organization’s operations unless there is a compelling reason for confidentiality...The DIDP is not a mechanism for one to make information requests or requests to obtain litigation-style discovery. <br />As further indicated in ICANN’s 27 April 2018 response email, ICANN’s DIDP Response 20180223-1 indicated that Item Nos. 5 and 6(a)-(b) were overbroad and vague, and that Requestor could further clarify or narrow the scope of those Items if it wished to do so. Afilias’ 23 April 2018 letter, however, goes far beyond those parameters and, in many instances, broadens and/or fundamentally changes the requests contained in DIDP Request 20180223-1. As such, and as indicated in ICANN’s 27 April 2018 email, ICANN organization will treat these “amended” requests as a new DIDP Request, with an effective submission date of 23 April 2018, and ICANN organization will respond through and in accordance with the DIDP Process."

"As discussed in response to Question No. 1, ICANN org is organized as a Non-For-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, which is a separate and distinct corporate form from a Public Benefit Corporation. The two types of entities are governed by different statutory requirements."
