Dear Council members,

Attached is the Final Task Force Report on Whois Services which has been finalised following a Task Force vote that concluded on Saturday, 10 March.

The report represents over months' work on the part of the Task Force and its chair, Jordyn Buchanan. The report's policy recommendation, by a simple majority of 7:6, is the OPoC proposal. The minority recommendation in the report is the Special Circumstances proposal.

This report is tabled as an agenda item on this week's GNSO Council call. I also expect to circulate Staff Notes on potential implementation issues regarding the Task Force Recommendation and the minority recommendation ahead of the Council call.

Best regards, Maria Farrell
