Subject: [EXTERNAL] [regext] Call for adoption: draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-
reverse-search

Hi all,

As discussed on the mailinglist, we have selected 5 documents that people
most want to be added to our milestone list.
To be able to to that the documents should first be adopted as working
group documents.
This is a formal adoption request for draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-reverse-
search

The draft is available here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-loffredo-regext-rdap-reverse-search/

Please review this draft to see if you think it is suitable for adoption by
REGEXT, and comment to the list, clearly stating your view.
Please also indicate if you are willing to contribute text, review, be a
document shepherd, etc.
I support adoption and am willing to review the document and contribute text.

Scott
I strongly object to the adoption of this document as it currently stands.

In this draft, there are no privacy considerations, and the report that is being cited to legitimize this approach has not been adopted by ICANN the organization or the community and was very controversial at the time of publication. The report is being miscited as being produced by ICANN itself, which was not the case.

If you are referring to the document https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf, it sounds to me a bit weird that ICANN community has nothing in common with it:

- it is published on ICANN web site

- it has been written by the members of an ICANN WG

In addition, the requirement of a controlled reverse search capability by ICANN community is also reported in Specification 4 of last "Registry Agreement" version (https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/agreements/agreement-approved-31jul17-en.pdf).

Finally, Francisco Arias from ICANN exposed the same requirement in his presentation about "RDAP searchability" at IETF 102.

I think It is not meaningless to say there is some interest about a reverse search capability in RDSs and such interest is shared by all TLDs.

There is also no limitation or specific use defined, which makes this protocol in direct violation of with the GDPR.

I strongly disagree with you about that point.

As I wrote to you by email last November 6th, there are at least three GDPR "lawful bases" legitimating the availability of such capability to RDAP authenticated users.

For the sake of clarity, I report an extract of that mail here in the following:

"First of all, I want to point out that I think to an RDAP service as a service providing different capabilities and contents according to different user profiles. Such a policy should be applied to any capability but even more to the reverse search. That being said, let us talk in terms of GDPR lawful bases which an RDAP provider could rely on in order to provide a user with a reverse search. Any authenticated user, in the exercise of an official authority or performing a specific task in the public interest that is set out in law, would be allowed to submit a reverse search because the RDAP provider could rely on the "Public Task" basis. A registrar (obviously authenticated) would be allowed to submit a reverse search ONLY on his own contacts/domains because the RDAP provider could rely on the "Contract" basis. The "Legitimate Interest" basis would be used to legitimate the provisioning of the reverse search capability to a registry internal user (obviously autheticated). I'm sure that in the three scenarios above (the first three occurred to me at this late hour), the reverse search would be allowed because they correspond to out-of-band operations which are usually authorized and executed by the registries under specific lawful bases."

The mail included another possible scenario in theory where reverse search might be allowed also to unauthenticated users. In that case, the "Consent" basis could be used to allow reverse searches taking into account only those entities which have previously given the consent for publishing their personal data on the RDS (Whois in the past, RDAP in the future).

If we agree that reverse search is compliant to GDPR under both specific conditions and premissible purposes, we don't need to specify that any use of reverse search capability against GDPR principles MUST be avoided because any RDAP provider allowing such a capability illegally will be held responsible in law.

To furtherly demonstrate that the authors are not thinking to an uncontrolled capability (as it is clearly stated in the "Security Considerations" section), reverse search on .it RDAP public test server is available only to authenticated users even if the server is currently a mere proof of concepts and is based on faked data.


Obviously, I'm willing to work on the draft to avoid any possible misunderstanding.


Regards,

Mario



This needs serious rework before we can adopt this as WG document imho.

Best,

Niels
