Should you be interested in the DNS, registration services, WHOIS and
related issues, join the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services
(EWG) <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189>
for an interactive online Q&A about next generation Registration Directory
Services (RDS).

Date: Tuesday, 16 September 2014
Time: 19:00-20:30 UTC (time converter: http://tinyurl.com/qbxp6w6)

Date: Wednesday, 17 September 2014
Time: 13:00-14:30 UTC (time converter: http://tinyurl.com/ozzcn65)

You are invited to an interactive session with the EWG, focusing on the
Final Report by the EWG
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=48343061>  as well
as a set of Frequently Asked Questions regarding the EWG Report
<https://community.icann.org/x/PVZ-Ag> . In this session, EWG members will
answer the top 10 questions asked about the proposed RDS and explore new
questions posed by attendees.

The EWG was formed to reexamine the purpose and provision of gTLD
registration data, envisioning a next-generation solution to replace today's
WHOIS that will better serve the needs of the global Internet community.

The Final Report represents the culmination of an intense 15+ month effort
during which this diverse group of volunteers considered over 2600 pages of
public comments, survey responses, and research results.

Ultimately, the EWG agreed that today's WHOIS model of giving every user the
same entirely anonymous public access to often-inaccurate data should be
abandoned. The EWG's 166-page Final Report details a proposed
next-generation RDS that would collect, validate and disclose gTLD
registration data for permissible purposes only, leaving minimum data
publicly available while safeguarding the rest through a new paradigm of
gated access.

Attend this session to better understand and ask any questions you may have
about how the proposed RDS tackles, in an unprecedented manner:
* Difficult data privacy issues;
* Validation challenges that have long degraded data quality and accuracy;
and 
* Striking a workable balance between access and accountability.
Don't miss this opportunity to more deeply explore key features of the
proposed RDS ­ the foundation from which the community (through the GNSO)
can develop a new global policy for gTLD registration data to protect
personal privacy and ensure greater accuracy, accountability, and
transparency for the entire ICANN ecosystem for years to come.
