Session Details
11:45-12:30 - GAC Discussion on Registration Data
This session aims to discuss status and consider possible next steps for the GAC in relation to the WHOIS/Registration Data policy framework, taking into account relevant Data Protection law. The GAC will discuss latest developments and related policy concerns, in connection with:
Status and next steps regarding the ongoing development of law enforcement requestor authentication mechanisms to enable implementation of the 24-hour timeline for Contracted Parties to respond to Urgent Requests for disclosure of registration data;Modification of the GNSO policy recommendations for a System for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) adopted in 2021 to reflect lessons learned and Community input from operations of the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) to date;Expected progress of the implementation of the Privacy/Proxy Services Accreditation Policy Recommendations (PPSA) in the coming year.
12:30-13:15 - Informational Session on Accuracy of Registraiton Data
In the ICANN85 Mumbai Communiqué, the GAC expressed its strong interest in engaging further with the Board and the Contracted Parties on how to address – in a swift and effective manner – the current 15-day timeline for registrars to validate and verify registrants contact information.
This session aims to inform GAC Members on the background of this timeline, how it may be exploited for DNS Abuse purposes, what would be the operational implication of changing this timeline or the verification process, and possible path for implementing such changes. It is expected that this informational session will prepare the GAC for the eventual trilateral dialogue between the GAC, the ICANN Board and the GNSO Council which the GAC Chair initially requested be convened on this issue prior to ICANN86, and which is now expected to take place after the Seville ICANN86 Policy Forum.
