GNSO Councilors,

Attached please find a draft template for your consideration, developed by our subgroup, that can be used to suggest studies on WHOIS.  Once reviewed and approved by the Council, this template will be used to solicit ideas for studies of WHOIS from GNSO councilors, constituencies and from the SOs and ACs.  It can also be posted to solicit public comments following Council approval.

Pending Council approval of the template, the design team may also continue on with the next step of defining a few studies using that template, and passing those on to other ICANN groups that might be interested in contributing ideas for studies.

Thanks, Liz
