Dear members of the IRT, This is a friendly reminder for your review of the proposed Consistent Labeling & Display Impact Assessment. As we would like to discuss this assessment during the next meeting of the IRT (Thursday 4 December), we request that you provide your comments and questions by Monday 1 December EOB at the latest. For your convenience, we have attached the documents for your review. Thank you in advance for your time.

It contains the detailed differential analysis of all current whois output requirements (Registry Agreements and Registrar Accreditation Agreement) with the target output as required per Specification 3 of RAA 2013. The analysis conducted in this spreadsheet is what we have summarized in Section 4 of the previously shared Impact Assessment document. Thank you for your attention.

Transition from thin to thick Whois - Call for experts
by Fabien Betremieux Nov. 18, 2014

Nov. 18, 2014

Dear Thick Whois IRT Members, Following our discussion during our last meeting, we have started to reach out to Registrars with a call for experts to assist in the implementation of the transition from thin to think Whois for .COM, .NET and .JOBS. Recognizing that you may personally know relevant experts, or that you could identify relevant expertise in other segments of the community, we would like to request your assistance with this effort. Below is an updated version of the communication we have used recently for your information and use as you deem appropriate. We are aiming at holding the first meeting with these expert in early december. Please reach out to me if you require additional information or if you have any suggestion. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager ICANN --------------------------- Subject : Transition from thin to thick Whois - Call for volunteer experts Dear stakeholder representatives, The future transition of .COM, .NET and .JOBS from thin to thick Whois will most likely affect your operations, business and customers in the coming years. This is why ICANN is reaching out to you today. The Thick Whois Implementation Project Team is currently seeking experts with expertise and experience relevant to this transition to contribute their knowledge and perspective in order to work out an effective and detailed implementation plan. This plan will be based on the policy recommendations that were developed by the GNSO and adopted by the ICANN Board (see https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-02-07-en#2.c ). While some practical details are still being defined, it is anticipated that volunteer experts would form an ad hoc team and meet every week with ICANN staff, via conference calls, for an initial period of three months. The first meeting would most likely take place in early December 2014. In these meetings, ICANN expects the relevant experts to share their analysis and contribute proposals for implementation measures that would be effective and considerate of the various needs of stakeholders. Such implementation measures may include: Requirements or prerequisites for transition Timeline of implementation Operational mechanisms for the transfer of data Solutions to address potential privacy concerns (dependency on outcome of legal review) Stakeholder Outreach to be conducted by relevant parties Ideally, we would like a representative set of business models and geographic origins to be represented in this team of experts. If you are interested in joining this effort, or know somebody who is interested, please contact howard.li(a)icann.org (Registrar Services Team) or fabien.betremieux(a)icann.org (Registry Services Team). For more information on the Thick Whois Policy Recommendation and its Implementation, please refer to the Thick Whois Implementation Working Session which was held in October during ICANN 51 in Los Angeles: http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-thick-whois. Thank you in advance for your collaboration Best Regards,

by Fabien Betremieux Nov. 18, 2014

Nov. 18, 2014

Dear Colleagues, After our recent doodle poll and subsequent save the dates for Nov 26, Dec 4 and Dec 18, a couple participants requested that we avoid meeting on Nov 26 as it the day before Thanksgiving (see Don¹s email below for instance). Can I suggest the following : unless there is strong objection against this proposal, we will cancel our save the date for Nov. 26 and we will meet (remotely) on Thursday 4 December and Thursday 18 December, at 15:00 UTC on both dates (invitation and remote participation details to follow). Thank you in advance for your feedback as appropriate.

Fabien, I apologize. I apparently skimmed over the Doodle Poll message. Realizing that a few US-types said OK to 11/26 and not presuming to speak for others who didn¹t fill the poll out, I¹ll suggest avoiding the day before Thanksgiving.

We would like to take this opportunity to provide the following clarification: * Mailing lists - All communications about the Thick Whois Implementation Project will go to the Implementation Review Team¹s list (gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org) Please note that Thick Whois PDP Working Group's list (gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg(a)icann.org) will be retired next Friday. If you are not yet on the IRT list and would like to be added, please let me know. * Recent Meeting cancellation notices - The recent meeting cancellation notices that were sent to the gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg(a)icann.org list are unfortunate and unintended side effects of housekeeping done on our Outlook Calendar system. * Next Meetings of the IRT - A separate email to the gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org list with follow shortly on this topic.
