Dear Councillors, Attached please find the presentation that will be given by the Whois Review team in Item 3: Update Whois Review Team (RT) (10 minutes) Recent events like the recent National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) letter http://www.icann.org/en/correspondence/strickling-to-crocker-03jan12-en.pdf show that Whois remains very much in the spotlight. It therefore appears useful for the Council to have an update from the Whois RT so that the Council has a clearer idea of what potential policy development it might be called to work on in the near future. The Chair of the Whois RT has kindly agreed to participate in this meeting and provide an update. Update from Whois RT Chair (Emily Taylor) Discussion Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> http://gnso.icann.org
