Consensus met
2016-03-09 Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues
2. Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues
The GAC thanks the GNSO Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process Working Group for its significant effort in producing its Final Report, which contains many beneficial recommendations. The GAC submitted comments on the Initial Report, reflecting public policy issues, which are attached at Annex A.
The GAC welcomes the request by the Board, in a letter dated February 19th 2016, to submit any public policy issues raised by the recommendations set forth in the Final Report.
Consistent with the GAC’s prior comments on the initial report and the 2007 GAC Principles regarding gTLD WHOIS Services, particularly Principle 3 regarding assisting law enforcement authorities in investigations, and Principle 6 regarding contributing to user confidence in the Internet by helping users identify persons or entities responsible for content and services online, the GAC believes that the recommendations set forth in the Final Report may raise certain public policy issues regarding consumer safety and trust.
a. The GAC advises the Board to:
I. allow sufficient time for GAC consideration of possible advice on these important public policy issues and requests that the Board meets with the GAC prior to considering adoption of the Privacy Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Final Report. The ICANN 56 meeting would be an appropriate opportunity to consider these issues further.
