Session DetailsThe EPDP Phase 2 Small Team was formed by the GNSO Council to consider the concerns outlined in the ICANN Board letter (see
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/botterman-to-fouquart-24jan22-en.pdf) and with these concerns in mind analyze the System for Standardized Access/Disclosure to non-public registration data (SSAD) Operational Design Assessment (see
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ssad-oda-25jan22-en.pdf) and provide the Council with its feedback. The Small Team delivered its Preliminary Report to the GNSO Council on 4 April (see
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/ducos-to-gnso-council-et-al-04apr22-en.pdf) following which the GNSO Council requested the ICANN Board to direct ICANN org to develop a "proof of concept" which is intended to help inform possible next steps on the SSAD recommendations (see
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/fouquart-to-botterman-27apr22-en.pdf). Following the publication of the small team’s preliminary report and the GNSO Council’s request to implement a “proof of concept” approach, ICANN org published the Whois Disclosure System design paper in September 2022. The small team reviewed the design paper and continued its consultations with ICANN org, resulting in the addendum to its preliminary report (see
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/ducos-to-gnso-council-07nov22-en.pdf). The GNSO Council accepted the addendum and subsequently communicated to the ICANN Board (see
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/correspondence/ducos-to-sinha-17nov22-en.pdf) its support for the request that the ICANN Board proceed with the implementation of the Whois Disclosure System, provided that the updates identified by the small team in the addendum were made. Furthermore, the GNSO Council confirmed to the ICANN Board that, pending the implementation of the Whois Disclosure System for a period of up to two years, the System for Standardized Access and Disclosure recommendations from Phase 2 of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification (TempSpec) for gTLD Registration Data should remain paused for consideration by the ICANN Board unless the data resulting from the implementation of the Whois Disclosure System would allow and warrant a decision at an earlier stage. On 27 February the ICANN Board directed ICANN org to develop and launch the WHOIS Disclosure System as requested by the GNSO Council within 11 months. Furthermore the ICANN Board requested ICANN org to continue engaging with the GNSO Council during the implementation and consider items such as the success criteria for the system as well as how to encourage comprehensive usage by requestors as well as registrars. Since then, ICANN org and the Small Team have continued their engagement on the implementation of what is now called the Registration Data Request Service. During this session, this engagement will continue and is expected to include an update on the status of implementation and continued dialogue on outstanding items.
