Given the current load I'd to make the following friendly amendments to the Motion on Producing Synthesis of Requirements for Whois Service Tools: Add the following as a sixth part of the Whereas: and, the GNSO accepted the recommendation of the IRT-A Working Group to encourage staff to explore further assessment of whether IRIS would be a viable option for the exchange of registrant email address data between registrars and conduct an analysis of IRIS' costs, time of implementation and appropriateness for IRTP purposes, Modify the two paragraphs of the Resolved section to read: The GNSO Council will collect and organize a comprehensive set of policy requirements for the Whois service policy tools that may need to be supported such as tiered services and privacy protection. Following the collection of policy requirements, the GNSO Council will present those requirements to Staff and requests that based on those requirements Staff, in consultation with the SSAC, provide an estimate for delivery of a synthesis of necessary technical requirements for a Whois service tool. I would prefer that the Council be the ones, and are actually the best ones, to identify the possible policy needs for a new Whois tool/protocol. But given our current workload I did not include a timeframe, but perhaps we could make it all, including Staff work, to be done by Korea, I think Sydney is not reasonable at this point. It also relieves the workload on Staff a bit. It also incorporates a related recommendation from the IRTP-A WG so that we don't duplicate efforts (we probably include within the possible policy requirements we gather). I believe this all makes sense given that I believe the restructuring should be our priority right now, and realization that new gTLD issues are going to consume a lot of our time. If accepted the amended motion would then read as follows: Whereas there have been discussions for several years on the adequacy of the current set of Whois tools to provide the necessary functions to support existing and proposed Whois service policy requirements, and, there have been questions as to the adequacy of these tools for use in an IDN environment, and, that there have been extensive discussions about the requirements of the Whois service with respect to Registry and registrar operations, and, new architectures and tools have been developed and suggested by the technical community, and, the GNSO accepted the recommendation of the IRT-A Working Group to encourage staff to explore further assessment of whether IRIS would be a viable option for the exchange of registrant email address data between registrars and conduct an analysis of IRIS' costs, time of implementation and appropriateness for IRTP purposes, Resolved, The GNSO Council will collect and organize a comprehensive set of policy requirements for the Whois service policy tools that may need to be supported such as tiered services and privacy protection. Following the collection of policy requirements, the GNSO Council will present those requirements to Staff and requests that based on those requirements Staff, in consultation with the SSAC, provide an estimate for delivery of a synthesis of necessary technical requirements for a Whois service tool.
