I am attaching a document from the GNSO on the proposed RDS (formerly WHOIS) Review to be started very soon. You will recall that we previously had approved a narrowing of the scope of the RDS Review to focus just on the extent to which the previous WHOIS Review Recommendations had been implemented. This GNSO proposal widens the scope considerably. Although there is no question that the wider scope is interesting and ptentially useful, it will also require far more community involvement that the earlier proposal. The call for volunteers was to close on 13 January and a decision needs to be made quickly on exactly what the Review should be. Comments please, with some urgency. Alan

Dear Karen and Community Leaders
The GNSO Council, working with its component Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, has produced this document (attached), which outlines our feedback and concerns with the proposed âlimited scopeâ for the upcoming RDS review. The document was submitted to ICANN Staff, and sharing with this team for your reference.
Thank you,
