Topic: WHOIS Requirements and National Law Conflicts ­ Review on effectiveness of the procedure

Originator: GNSO

Summary of request: The GNSO has written a paper "Review of the ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law" and is inviting feedback on the effectiveness of the procedure. The community is encouraged to offer comments or suggest possible changes to the procedure, which will be compiled and analyzed to determine a proposed path forward. That path may include a published report in consultation with stakeholder groups, or it may lead to the formation of an Implementation Advisory Group of GNSO representatives to develop possible proposals for modification. Any proposed changes to implementation of the Whois Procedure would also be presented to the GNSO Council to confirm that the proposed changes do not change the intent of the policy recommendations. The proposed changes may also be presented to the Board of Directors for their review, before implementation. https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-05-22-en
