Hello Maria,

I have two editing suggestions regarding the terms of reference. One is to tighten or footnote the language about the Internet's unique identifiers in the first paragraph so that it can't be interpreted as including other unique identifiers such as IP numbers. I know the text in this draft is there to avoid opening up other debates, so I will try to find some existing language that describes ICANN's role. Failing that, I'll suggest a footnote to narrow the scope of the term.

The statement of mission at the beginning of the terms of reference is simply a factual statement of ICANN's mission from the bylaws. The remaining text of the terms of reference define the tasks of the task force. I will review the remaining text to make clear that this task force is looking at gTLD domain name WHOIS, rather than the use of the WHOIS service/protocol with respect to other identifiers. Regards, Bruce
