Dear Alan, Thank you for your email. I acknowledge receipt of your email. However, I have briefly read its contents but have yet to visit the detailed analysis. I advise that I am occupied at the moment with meeting a deadlines for paid work and will make time as soon as I have sufficient bandwidth to go over the material and reflect before replying. Noting, that the ALAC has time till before the Board meets on the 12th and 13th of September, 2012. Kind Regards, Sala On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>wrote:
You will recall that at its last meeting, the ALAC unanimously approved a statement to the Board reiterating its position that all 16 recommendations be implemented, and stressed that several were very important and clearly did not require any prior GNSO policy development. That ALAC statement can be found at http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-WHOIS-**Advice<http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-WHOIS-Advice> .
Based on further discussions, and in light of a controversy that has arisen in the GNSO, it was suggested that the ALAC explicitly identify which recommendations do not require any prior policy development, and which might required GNSO policy development.
I had already done a brief review looking at which recommendations might require policy development. I have since revised this and present it to you here.
In summary, of the 16 recommendations, 12 do not require GNSO policy development, 3 *might* require policy development, but that would depend on work carried out over the coming months and years, and 1 does require policy development by the GNSO along with the rest of the community, but in my opinion, does not require a formal PDP.
The detailed analysis is attached. The report with the recommendations in detail can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/about/** aoc-review/whois/final-report-**11may12-en.pdf<http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/whois/final-report-11may12-en.pdf> .
It is essential that this analysis reach the Board before the Board Workshop scheduled for September 12-13.
I am not sure if Olivier wants to hold a formal vote on this, or for the ALAC to just reach consensus, but regardless, the first step if for anyone who does not agree with this analysis to speak up.
Alan
