The Review Team’s tenth recommendation essentially calls for ICANN to initiate processes to regulate and oversee privacy and proxy service providers; processes should be developed in consultation with all interested stakeholders and note relevant GNSO studies; a possible approach to achieving this would be to establish an accreditation system for all proxy/privacy service providers, and consider the merits (if any) of establishing or maintaining a distinction between privacy and proxy services; goal is to provide clear, consistent and enforceable requirements for the operation of these services consistent with national laws, and to strike an appropriate balance between stakeholders with competing but legitimate interests—including privacy, data protection, law enforcement, the industry around law enforcement and the human rights community.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">The GNSO Council acknowledges that this recommendation can be read to describe a GNSO policy development process. However, in recognition of the contemporaneous negotiation of the RAA, the GNSO Council recommends that—notwithstanding any GNSO policy development process on this recommendation—ICANN retain its authority to unilaterally impose regulation of privacy and proxy services pursuant to the RAA in the event that no consensus policy has been reached in a reasonably time frame, such as twelve months from 31 August 2012.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red; font-size: 10pt; ">[[The RySG strongly believes that ICANN can only initiate a process to regulate and oversee privacy and proxy service providers through a PDP process.

The Whois RT report plainly says privacy / proxy accreditation should be developed in consultation with all interested stakeholders. While regulation of privacy / proxy may be a laudable outcome, nowhere does the RAA suggest the ICANN corporation has the authority to make such an imposition, and it's false to say it does. The RrSG has discussed privacy / proxy accreditation with ICANN staff in the course of RAA negotiations and our experience is that, unfortunately, like many community desires, it is complex, involves the interests of multiple stakeholders, and has cost an resource impacts on ICANN staff and the community.
