The Policy Development Process (PDP) Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Working Group (WG) was chartered by the GNSO Council in October 2013. The WG’s purpose is to review and make policy recommendations regarding privacy and proxy services accreditation issues that were not addressed in the development of the 2013 new Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).[1]
The 2013 RAA — which was adopted from the 2009 RAA and subsequent amendments in 2011 — is the contract between ICANN and accredited registrars that sell domain names. During the negotiations for the new RAA, the issues of privacy and proxy services were not considered. Subsequently, ICANN called for a working group to evaluate those issue areas.[2]
The WG finished its initial report in May 2015 and finished its final report December 2015.[3]
