Does this mean only councillors who voted FOR Formula 1 are called on for an explanation and their understanding of what this means? -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Tonkin To: Council GNSO Sent: Wed Jun 28 12:49:11 2006 Subject: [council] Proposed motion on WHOIS Proposed Motion In response to the extensive community and Government input on the definition of the purpose of WHOIS, the GNSO Council agrees to undertake the following steps: One: Each Council member that voted in favour of the definition will provide a brief explanation of the reason for supporting the resolution and their understanding of its meaning. Two: the ICANN staff will provide a summary of the other interpretations of the definition that have been expressed by the community and Governments. Three: the Council will undertake a dialogue with the GAC and SSAC on developing a broadly understandable definition of the purposes for which the current data required in the RRA is collected. Four: The GNSO Council requests that the WHOIS task force continue with their work as specified in the terms of reference taking into account the recent input that has been provided. Five: The GNSO Council will take the final report from the WHOIS task force that addresses all terms of reference, and the definition of purpose of collecting data derived from the dialogue with the GAC and SSAC, and consider improving the wording of the WHOIS service definition so that it is broadly understandable. The GNSO Council notes that the current definition is related to the service that provides public access to some or all of the data collected, and is not a definition of the purpose of the data itself.
