All,

Please see the attached letter from the ICANN Board concerning the Thick WHOIS transition policy and request for an implementation extension/deferral.

This is related to our work with ICANN Org around impacts of EPDP Phase 1 recommendations on other policies, procedures and contractual obligations.

We have an obligation to respond to this inquiry, so please review.

Best,

Keith
