http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf The GAC has put forward 15+ topics related to WHOIS that they believe should be studied. The GNSO WG that is focused on the same topic will tender its own recommendations on 22 May. On the GNSO WG are three at-large participants (myself, Beau Brendler, Wendy Seltzer) that could benefit from your input. If you believe that certain studies are warranted, please tell us and offer up your particular recommendations. If you believe that further studies are nothing more than a stalling tactic being exploited by certain constituencies to hamper privacy initiatives and that no more studies are actually warranted, feel free to tell us that as well. Whatever your views, we will be happy to convey them. If you would like to communicate your thoughts directly to your GAC representative, contact details are here: http://gac.icann.org/web/contact/reps/index.shtml If you would like to formulate WHOIS policy, please join the ALAC WHOIS WG -- signup details at http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/whois-wg_atlarge-lists.icann... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
