You have no doubt seen this announcement on the publication of the Whois Review Team's final report: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-05dec11-en.htm

Although the report itself is long, I would encourage you to read the 11-page exec summary, or at least the recommendations summarized from page 7 onwards. The GNSO has already, and can expect to continue working on WHOIS, so the W RT's recommendations should be known to us.

Thanks,
