Dear Jonathan & All, As you recall, the GNSO Council requested three issue reports at its 17 October 2012 meeting. Since these issue reports are generally due 45 days from the request, with extensions available as necessary to complete them, we wanted to let you know that Staff will need additional time to complete the issue reports on Uniformity of Reporting, and on translation/transliteration of Registration Data. We expect to deliver these by 14 December 2012. Please note that the IRTP Part D Issue Report has already been published for the council's consideration (see: http://gnso.icann.org/en/node/35543 ), and a public comment forum is currently open on this Report (see: http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/irtp-d-prelim-issue-report-14nov... ). We are also in the process of drafting the Board requested issue report on WHOIS, addressing purpose, access, and accuracy, but do not yet have an estimated delivery date for this Issue Report. We are planning internal meetings next week to discuss this resolution, and will let you know separately the expected timing of this Report. Happy Thanksgiving! Best Personal Regards, Margie _______ Margie Milam Senior Policy Counselor ICANN _______
