[council] For your review - Final Report of IAG review of existing ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Laws
Dear All, On behalf of Jamie Hedlund, please find attached the Final Report of the Implementation Advisory Group (IAG) review of the ICANN Procedure for handling Whois conflicts with privacy law. The IAG recommends a modification to the existing Whois Conflicts Procedure. The modification would allow a party to trigger the procedure by obtaining a written statement from the government agency charged with enforcing its data privacy laws indicating that a particular Whois obligation conflicts with national law and then submitting that statement to ICANN. A redlined version of the Procedure incorporating this change can be found in Appendix 1. Please take specific note of the expected next steps: 'The GNSO Council is now expected to review the IAG Final Report and confirm whether or not it supports to modification of the Procedure as proposed. Consistent with the IAG¹s Mission and Scope, the proposed change modifies the Procedure but does not affect the underlying policy recommendations¹.
