High-Level Notes: 

  1. Welcome (5min)

  • Chair opened the meeting.

  • Apologies were noted and can be found on the wiki page of each meeting. 

  • Please send your apology to GNSO-Secs@icann.org only, NOT to the whole WG list. 

  1. PDP Updates (10min)

  • Chair provided an update on potential methods to be used in the future to increase/enhance WG participation during calls. 

  • Goal: Encourage broader input before reaching consensus calls and avoid late-stage introduction of previously unexpressed views.

  • Chair noted that a glossary will be introduced in the collaboration document.

  • Purpose: Create a shared baseline understanding across key terms and improve navigation for external readers of reports.

  1. Refine strawperson on CQ3 (20min)

  • Chair introduced the updated strawperson on CQ3. 

  • WG members asked whether investigation obligations are limited to data “reasonably available” to registrars.

  • WG members noted: Registrars can only act on data they possess.

  • Resellers may have additional/different data (e.g., payment info).

  • Obligation remains with the registrar, even if delegated.

  • Flexibility is necessary for operational feasibility.

  • Other WG members noted:  Potential risk/concern of creating a loophole (“out”) if limited to available data to registrar.

  • Asked for clarity on enforcement of ADC when resellers hold data potentially relevant for ADC.

  • WG suggested refining language to avoid potential “loopholes” and maintain operational feasibility, ideally clarify interaction with reseller data.

  • WG members discussed whether the baseline criteria should be “At least one data point” is sufficient or “reasonable number of indicators” should be required when available to conduct ADC.

  • WG members noted concern that minimum requirement may allow “superficial” compliance.

  • Other WG members noted: policy should define a minimum baseline, not exhaustive procedures.

  1. Discussion on strawperson CQ4 (30min)

  • Chair presented the strawperson language on CQ4. 

  • WG initial reaction was generally positive. 

  • Some WG members noted investigation should not exclude information provided in abuse reports.

  1. Start deliberations on CQ5 (20min)

  2. AOB (5min)
