The Draft Report [PDF <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-rds-whois2-review-31aug18-...> ] <https://community.icann.org/display/WHO/Webinar%3A+Registration+Directory+Se...> was posted for public comment <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rds-whois2-review-2018-09-04-en>on 4 September 2018. During the webinar, members of the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team will provide a briefing on the Draft Report, which contains draft findings and recommendations pertaining to the gTLD registry directory service. Participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions directly to the review team. The Registration Directory Service Review Team assesses the extent to which prior Directory Service Review recommendations have been implemented and implementation has resulted in the intended effect. The review team also assesses the effectiveness of the then current gTLD registry directory service and whether its implementation meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement, promotes consumer trust and safeguards registrant data. Informed by ICANN organization briefings and available documentation, the review team has formulated twenty-three draft recommendations based on a factual analysis. The Registration Directory Service Review is one of the four Specific Reviews anchored in Article 4.6 of the ICANN Bylaws <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#article4.6>. Specific reviews are conducted by community-led review teams which assess ICANN’s performance in reaching its commitments. Reviews are critical to helping ICANN achieve its mission as detailed in Article 1 of the Bylaws. A recording will be made available on the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team wiki. <https://community.icann.org/x/gtjRAw> *Webinar Details & How to Attend* - Date: 17 September 2018 - Time: - 15:00 – 16:30 UTC (click here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Webinar%3A+Registr...> to view time zone converter) - 21:00 – 22:30 UTC (click here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Webinar%3A+Registr...> to view time zone converter) - To participate, please join either webinar via this *Adobe Connect link*: *https://participate.icann.org/reviews-webinar <https://participate.icann.org/reviews-webinar> *or* by phone only: tel://1-712-770-4218*,,2731447485# <//1-712-770-4218*,,2731447485/>. *If you require a dial out, contact *mssi-secretariat@icann.org*. <mssi-secretariat@icann.org.> *Additional Resources* - Visit the RDS-WHOIS2 Review wiki <https://community.icann.org/x/JIfDAw> for up-to-date information on the work of the Review Team as well as news and opportunities to participate. - Visit the RDS-WHOIS2 Review page on ICANN.org <https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/specific-reviews/whois> to view documents associated with essential milestones, outputs and final deliverables. *About ICANN* ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet.
