new WHOIS protocol, in particular people
knowledgeable about technical aspects of
WHOIS who can help assess if the survey
asks the right questions and in the
right style to elicit technical
feedback. The Working Group seeks
specific suggestions on changes to
language and questions that will make it
clearer for experts to complete.

Section I: Description,
Explanation, and Purpose
|
The WHOIS Survey Working
Group produced a draft survey of WHOIS
Technical Requirements at the request of
the GNSO Council Resolution (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions#20111006-1). The Working Group is
seeking community feedback on the draft,
which will be considered by GNSO Council
and later released to the community for
participation in the WHOIS survey.
The Survey can be accessed
here: http://icann.isoc.ug/whoissurvey/?sid=71483
The Working Group will accept
community feedback via the public comment
forum. Additionally, users of the survey
will see a free-form text dialogue box at
the bottom of each section of the survey.
Users may use this space to provide
specific feedback with respect to the
questions loaded for that section. If you
use this feature, be sure to include your
identity so that we may relate your
response to the public comment review
process.
