Dear Council members, Ahead of tomorrow's GNSO Council conference call, I am sending you two items: a table outlining the recommendations made by the GNSO Council independent review and the Council's self-review. This summarises the two sets of recommendations, batching them according to subject, and also includes staff responses and suggestions. It is a work in progress and may be useful for Council members to organise the work items arising. Secondly, below is a short list of current GNSO-related issues being worked on by ICANN staff to help you prioritise current and future work items. Best regards, Maria Farrell List of GNSO-related issues ICANN staff is currently working on (11 May 2005) Policy development staff: * WHOIS (PDP of recommendation on notification, support of combined WHOIS Task Force) * New registry services * GNSO independent review and self-review (preparation for discussion & implementation of recommendations) * New gTLDs Operations staff: * New registry services * New gTLDs * Transfers * Internationalised Domain Names * ICANN Strategic and Operational plans
