Please share your comments on version 1.6 of the WHOIS WG report. I've already shared my (personal) disagreement with most of the statements of claimed "agreement," and with the way disagreement has been characterized. Others who'd like to agree or disagree should please do so. I have not said the OPOC should have no responsibilities, rather that those responsibilities should be determined between the registrant and its OPOC, not imposed by ICANN, since the registrant remains responsible for registration and use of the domain name. Thanks, --Wendy -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gnso-whois-wg] Draft outcomes report v 1.6 Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 14:41:31 +0200 From: Philip Sheppard <philip.sheppard@aim.be> To: <gnso-whois-wg@icann.org> References: <p06230911c2d6a8cae753@[10.0.1.2]> Please find attached the outcomes report version 1.6. This I hope captures the last two weeks of discussion on list and on our two calls. Changes compared to v1.5 are: - new and clarified text; - revised levels of support; - revised section 7 (with text transferred from section 2); - new section 8 (further studies). (I considered issuing a red-line tracked version but there have been too many changes to make this a useful tool.) I would like to call a halt to changes of substance on the issues: these we have well covered. I would like to invite any comments where you feel any opinion on the substance is NOT yet recorded. Please do NOT repeat earlier opinion: that will just make life more challenging to weed out duplication. Please do WITHDRAW earlier statements of disagreement if you now believe the revised text is something that you can support. Comments are open for one week until mid-day Thursday 9 August. After that we will issue version 1.7 which will factor in any changes (as above) along with factual and contextual additions from ICANN staff. I will advise later how long version 1.7 will be up for comment before completion of the group's work. Many thanks.
