Mawaki, I do not understand your concern about the WHOIS WG. You asked an excellent question on the WHOIS WG and I said that the question was in my view out of scope of the WG charter. This is not a refusal to answer but one that recognised the limit to the responsibilities of a WG chair. To address out of scope questions on a group of more than 60 with a large proportion being observers new to the ICANN process seemed unwise. I recommended that you ask the question of Council. You have not done so. Philip
