Report for ALAC DiscussionCarlton Samuels
EWG: Initial Report
What Needs Fixing?• Ability/Willingness of Registrars to
verify/validate Whois Data• Dependence on individual registrars
for access to/reliance on Whois data• All registrant data potentially
accessible globally• Unregulated privacy/proxy servers
EWG: Initial Report
EWG: Initial ReportWhat is Being Proposed
EWG: Initial ReportUsers of Registration Data
EWG: Initial Working GroupPermitted Purposes for Data Use
EWG: Initial ReportARDS Model• Registrar collects registrant data – gTLD
registry. gTLD registries hold authoritative data• ARDS (or other repository) as non-authoritative
repository of all all collected data elements• Requestors apply for access to data – obtain
access to non-authoritative, or special cases, authoritative data
• ARDS repository provides validation of data, handling and auditing access, handling complaints and imposing penalties for inappropriate access
EWG: Initial ReportGated Access Model
EWG: Initial Report
Advantages:• One Stop shop for requestors• Greater accountability for data validation
and access abuse• Standardizes access approaches to meet
privacy requirements• Enables more efficient accuracy checks• Enables search portal in multiple
languages
EWG: Initial Report
Disadvantages• Data latency• Creation of a ‘big data’ source• Increased risk of insider abuse• Registries/registrars no longer
control delivery of registration data
EWG: Initial Report
Issues for discussion:• Support for the ARDS generally?• Location of repository?• Whois data: enough/too little/too much• Accuracy checks on data – who and how?• Permitted (or not) uses• Permitted (or not) users• Penalties – for whom/for what/what
authority• Timeline?
