The agenda was approved.<br>
1. Extract and comment RAA provisions relevant to registrant notification and
consent regarding data collection and processing. Report back from ICANN staff<br>
2. First set of definite questions to external groups or people - request for
data. <br>
3. Timeline <br>
<br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan</b> proposed that the minutes of the December 1 meeting be
accepted, while the minutes of December 8 would be modified as requested by
Kathy Kleiman and approved when everyone had had a chance to read them.<br>
<br>
The topic of <b>MP3</b> recordings was raised. It was the custom to make MP3
recordings to assist with minutes and have a record of the meeting. The practise
as such was approved but further thought was suggested on whether the recordings
should be made publicly available.<br>
<br>
<b>Barbara Roseman</b> reported that the extracts from the Registrars Accreditation
Agreement regarding data collection, display and accuracy that had been drawn
up with the help of <b>Dan Halloran</b>, would be published within the next
hours.<br>
It was suggested that to the extent to which this part of the fact-finding would
only concern the relevant rules from the RAA, that it would be extended to the
thick registry agreements, which would add the registrant's phone and fax number
to the WHOIS data set. <br>
<br>
<b>Barbara Roseman</b> suggested, in consultation with <b>Dan Halloran</b> that
the top 20 registrars be targeted for finding out how current registrars informed
registrants on the use of data.<br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan's</b> concern was that not all registrars with particularly
good or particularly bad policies would be in the top 20. A balance would have
to be found with what could be done and the resources available at ICANN especially
with regard to resellers.<br>
<br>
How resellers data should be documented was left open. <br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan</b> suggested the "bucket" or put in category form
could be used.<br>
<br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan </b>referred to the proposed questions for registrars: </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Questions for top ten registrars</b>:
<br>
1) Please identify your top ten resellers, by volume. <br>
Questions for all registrars: <br>
<br>
1) What mechanisms do you use to inform potential and existing registrants of
the purpose for which contact data is collected, and how that data will be released
to the public? Please provide applicable URLs.<br>
<br>
2) What mechanisms do you use to gain consent from registrants for the use of
their data? <br>
<br>
3) If you offer registrations through channels other than your website, how
do the mechanisms used to inform registrants of the use of their contact data,
and to gain consent for that usage, differ from those used on the website? <br>
<br>
4) What requirements, if any, do you make of your resellers in terms of informing
registrants of the use of their contact data, and gaining consent for that usage?
<br>
<br>
Proposed additions: How many Registrars have separate consent mechanisms for
their consent on the topic.<br>
<br>
<b>Barbara Roseman</b> clarified the purpose of the questions to the registrars
which was to capture data that was not visible on their websites and the questions
should be framed accordingly. The questions under discussion should be regarded
as supplementary to the work being done by the ICANN staff.<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan,</b> commented that there were two questions in place to
get to provisions in the RAA across the staff survey and how disclosures were
made via other channels.<br>
Another question that could be added would be: <br>
what accommodation, if any, have you made to comply with local or national laws
regarding </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">the collection and
display of contact data.<br>
<br>
<b>Steve Metalitz</b> proposed a follow up to the question specifying the laws.<br>
<b>Jordyn Bucahan</b> commented that the questions could relate to more than
one milestones.<br>
The approval of the final list of question would be done by e-mail on the mailing
list. <br>
Additional questions as discussed would relate to:<br>
a. purpose for which the contact data is collected <br>
b. </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> the intended recipients
or categories of recipients for contact data<br>
c. which contact data is obligatory and which if any is voluntary<br>
Steve Metalitz proposed drafting the questions and Jordyn Buchanan proposed
drafting the question on compliance with local or national laws.<br>
<br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan</b> read the -- <b>Questions for constituencies</b>: <br>
1) For each existing data field within the Whois, please provide feedback to
the task force regarding the following: <br>
a) Use. How do members of your constituency make use of the data? <br>
b) Necessity. Is it necessary that this information be made available to members
of your constituency? If so, why? <br>
c) Concerns. Describe any concerns your constituency may have with making this
information available.<br>
<br>
2) If there are fields not presently available within Whois that would be of
use to members of your constituency, please suggest what those fields may be.
For each suggestion, provide feedback regarding the following:<br>
a) Use. How would members of your constituency make use of the data?<br>
b) Necessity. Is it necessary that this information be made available to members
of your constituency? If so, why? <br>
<br>
3) Please comment on any mechanisms that you are aware of to allow anonymous
domain registrations, or to limit the amount of contact data made publicly available
through Whois? <br>
<br>
<b>Kathy Kleiman</b> suggested an introduction for section 2 laying out the
data fields for the Registrars Accreditation Agreement as well as a public comment
period for the responses to the second part of the questionnaire, new data.<br>
<b>Jordyn Buchanan</b> mentioned areas where public comment would be required
thus questions should be formulated to solicit these.<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">a. Registrars and resellers
disclosure and consent of data collection and display policies<br>
b. Outliers<br>
c. Documentation of local privacy law with the help of the Governmental Advisory
Committee GAC and the ccNSO.<br>
