Call for Topics for Public Forum
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 21, 2012

Feb. 21, 2012

Dear all, As usual, a Public Forum will take place on Thursday, 15 March 2012, where Community members can make comments and ask questions to the Board in front of the rest of the community. However, you also have the possibility to ask the ccNSO Chair Lesley Cowley to convey a question/comment on your behalf. As has been the practice in the recent meetings, the Board believes that building an agenda with the input from the community facilitates this 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 facilitates more informed discussions during the Public Forum, allowing the Community to be aware of the agenda topics before the meeting actually starts. Lesley will convey the suggestions that the ccTLD community would like to see included in the Public Forum agenda in Costa Rica. These will then be reviewed and accommodated as much as possible, combining common or related topics under one agenda topic. The agenda for the Public Forum will be published before the meeting. If you wish that Lesley brings up a topic on on your behalf, please, could you let me know by Friday, 2 March. Many thanks! Gabi

Draft Roadmap on the implementation of SSAC Report on Domain Name WHOIS Terminology and Structure
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

Dear all, ICANN has posted a Draft Roadmap on the implementation of ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee's Report on Domain Name WHOIS Terminology and Structure (SAC 051). The SSAC report specifically targets, among other things, the "internationalisation" of the WHOIS protocol, reflecting concern about the inability of the current WHOIS protocol to consistently handle non-ASCII data. Additionally, SAC 051 recommends terminology to be used to clarify discussions where traditionally the terms Whois or WHOIS have been used. This roadmap explores the coordination of the technical and policy discussions necessary to implement the recommendations outlined in SAC 051: SSAC Report on Domain Name WHOIS Terminology and Structure. http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-18feb12-en.htm Comments are welcome until 18 March 2012. Kind regards, Gabi
