In parallel with the Public Comment period, the Working Group is hosting two webinar sessions to brief the community on the background of this effort and to solicit input from experts on technical requirements for a 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 useful and clear technical feedback. The Working Group seeks specific suggestions on changes to language and questions that will make it clearer for experts to complete. Members of the Working Group will provide a briefing on *Friday 1 June at 13.00 UTC **and**Friday 1 June at 20.00 UTC*, summarizing the purpose of this effort and reviewing the work called for in the Working Group's charter. *13:00 UTC click on this link*: *http://tinyurl.com/85s8fou* *20:00 UTC click on this link* *http://tinyurl.com/7qydxhm* The webinars will also review the sections of the survey as they relate to the proposed technical requirements outlined in the GNSO WHOIS Service Requirement Report - http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-service-requirements-final-report-2... that was prepared by Staff at the GNSO Council's request in July 2010. The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. Each session, scheduled to run for 60 minutes, will be conducted in English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
