Thanks Maria. I have two questions: 1) how will people who are not part of a GNSO constituency join the group; 2) has a date been set for the start of the group?

There has been enormous interest in the Whois Working Group, thanks, in particular, to the work of the GNSO constituencies and the At Large. The group will be convened by mailing list today, and will have its first teleconference next week. Now that the Charter is finalised, we will also be extending a formal invitation to participate to the Government Advisory Committee. All the best, Maria
