WDS[edit | edit source]

The Board adopted the ODA on the Whois Disclosure System and the ICANN Org renamed it “Registration Data Request Service.” This service should be operative by the end of 2023 and run as a pilot for two years to gather disclosure request volumes to determine whether to build the full Standardized System for Access and Disclosure of non-public domain registration data.[4]

Transfer Policy Review[edit | edit source]

The Transfer Policy Review PDP Working Group focused on Phase 2 (aka Group 2) Topics and discussed:[5]

  • reducing the cost to reduce barriers to entry; introducing formality, such as accreditation; whether registrants are getting what they need – what current channels are available – settlement, courts (costly), through registrar (TDRP);
  • whether to adjust the TDRP to accommodate registrants, which would require substantial changes or a new separate system.
  • gaming or potential gaming of TDRP if available to registrants – could be adjusted for that.
  • This WG focuses on transfers between contracted parties, so disputes among registrants could be out of scope.
  • if out of scope the WG could make a recommendation to GNSO Council that a process for registrants could be considered separately.
  • Issues raised by George Kirikos (limitation period of 12 months; with Temp Spec, the Losing Registrar can win 100 percent of the TDRP disputes because the Gaining Registrar doesn’t have access to the Whois info for the FOA because of GDPR; long registration period creating confusion with ownership of the domain name in case of an invalid transfer)[6]
  • Gap Analysis - Reversal of Inter-Registrar Transfers[7]

Geopolitical & Regulatory Developments[edit | edit source]

  • The impacts of NIS2
  • WSIS+20[8]
  • Proposal of the Internet General Law in Peru[9]

ODPs[edit | edit source]

ALAC hosted a community-wide discussion of the efficacy of ODPs, asking:[10]

  1. What criteria should determine when a policy discussion is to be sent to ICANN org vs the ICANN community?
  2. Could changes to the policy development process decrease the burden on the org during an Operational Design Phase?
  3. When should outside expertise be brought in (such as system scoping)?
  4. What would have been improved through additional community input without adding to the overall timing?

DNS Abuse[edit | edit source]

SOIs[edit | edit source]

The SOI Task Force team within the GNSO agreed on proposed changes to enhance representative transparency. However, some members are concerned that they cannot disclose their clients’ identities.[12]
