Sept. 25, 2012

FYI From: Han Chuan Lee <hanchuan(a)sgnic.sg<mailto:hanchuan@sgnic.sg>> Date: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 5:28 AM To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org<mailto:gabriella.schittek@icann.org>>, Kristina Nordstrom <kristina.nordstrom(a)icann.org<mailto:kristina.nordstrom@icann.org>> Subject: Liaison Updates 1. GNSO has forwarded the Final Report of the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG) to the ICANN Board with 4 key recommendations, namely to develop a data model for domain registration data, to request an Issue Report on translation and transliteration of contact information, to identify a domain name registration data access protocol for internationalization and adoption of standards. 2. The WHOIS Review Team has been reconvened to examine 2 options that the GNSO Council has discussed so that the ICANN Board can be duly informed. The 2 options are to advise the ICANN Board to consider each individual GNSO constituency and stakeholder group comments on the recommendations or to tabulate the 16 recommendations and explain for each whether a policy development is required. 3. In response to ICANN Board resolution 30 on 10 Dec 2010, the GNSO Consumer Choice, Trust and Competition Working Group (CCI WG) has produced an Advice Letter for consideration by SOs and ACs to assist them in responding to the Board's request. A motion is being prepared to endorse the recommendations and forward the letter to the ICANN Board.

by Han Chuan Lee Sept. 25, 2012

Sept. 25, 2012

Hi, ccTLD managers may be interested to participate. Regards Han Chuan Begin forwarded message: > From: Glen de Saint Géry <Glen(a)icann.org> > Subject: [council] WHOIS Technical Requirements Survey Invitation (Avail Until 31 OCT 2012) > Date: September 24, 2012 10:09:59 PM GMT+08:00 > To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> > > https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-17sep12-en.htm > WHOIS Technical Requirements Survey Invitation (Avail Until 31 OCT 2012) > > 17 September 2012 > > The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council's WHOIS Survey Working Group (WSWG) invites the Internet community to participate in a survey designed around an inventory of WHOIS technical components. The survey aims to measure the level of support for various technical requirements outlined in the WHOIS Service Requirements Report [PDF, 633 KB], as requested of ICANN Staff by the GNSO Council. The survey consists of 15 sections around 11 technical requirements, and it will be made available until 31 October 2012. Afterwards, the WSWG will produce a final report and deliver it to the GNSO Council toward the end of 2012. The report will describe the results of the survey and any agreed upon recommendations by the WG for the GNSO Council's consideration concerning WHOIS. Survey attributes are as follows: > > Survey Availability Date: 13 September 2012 > Survey Address: https://limesurvey.icann.org/index.php?sid=71483&lang=en > Survey Close Date: 31 October 2012, 23:59 UTC > Survey Language: English only > PDF Preview of Survey: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/whois-technical-requirements-survey-1… [PDF, 2.99 MB] > The survey is lengthy and therefore the option has been made available to create an ID and return to the survey at a later time to complete it. The survey tool will save all answers completed from the time the survey was last accessed. It is important that if the participant leaves the survey before submission or creation of an ID, the session may time-out with increased of risk losing answers. > > Many sections of this survey will require a high degree of technical skill around WHOIS. If the participant feels that they may not understand a question or not possess the technical knowledge to answer it appropriately, then the participant is welcome to skip the question and move on to the next one. If completing the survey for an organization, the participant may wish to engage more technical personnel to help complete all sections of the survey. > > The WSWG appreciates your participation and the working group looks forward to sharing the final results with the community. Please feel free to inform others about the availability of this survey to assist the working group with maximum participation. > > If questions arise about the survey or the tool, please contact the GNSO Policy Team at: policy-staff(a)icann.org. > > > > Glen de Saint Géry > GNSO Secretariat > gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org > http://gnso.icann.org >

Dear all, Under AOB at the upcoming council call the topic will be raised.

As usual, we will have a Public Forum that will take place on Thursday, 18 October 2012, where Community members can make comments and ask questions to the Board and/or to the rest of the Community. Following the practice we had in the recent meetings, we would like to build the agenda with your input again as this facilitates the forum process and results in a productive session with the subjects that the Community thinks are important to talk about. Publishing the agenda as early as possible also facilitates more informed discussions during the Public Forum as we have experienced in recent meetings, allowing the Community ample time to be aware of the agenda topics before the meeting actually starts. Please let Filiz Yilmaz (filiz.yilmaz(a)icann.org) know of one or two suggested topics that your groups would like to see included in the Public Forum agenda in Toronto, before the end of Monday, 1 October 2012. We will then review the suggestions, accommodate them as much as possible, combine common or related topics under one agenda topic and publish the agenda for the Public Forum after my approval. Thanks for your consideration and input. Kind regards, Steve Crocker ------ End of Forwarded Message
