by Fabien Betremieux Dec. 19, 2014

Dec. 19, 2014

Dear Colleagues, Following our meeting on 4 December, we would like to share some status with you : * Consistent Labeling and Display Impact Assessment: we are actively processing your feedback, and we will need more time than originally thought to determine the appropriate next steps. * Transition from thin to thick/Legal Review: please find attached a status report of this effort as discussed in our call. We would like to remind you, as discussed in our meeting, that you can share you comments or questions on this topic by Friday 19 December at the latest. * Transition form thin to thick/Group of experts: we are still considering the most efficient approach to engage with the Group of Experts from affected parties while we await the conclusions of the Legal Review. To ensure the most effective use of your time, and because we will need more time before we can update you on the above topics, we will cancel the date we had saved (Thursday 18 December) for our next meeting, and will reconvene, as appropriate, in the second half of January (details to follow in due time). In the meantime, we wish you a wonderful holiday season. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN

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.

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.

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,

Cancel save the date for Nov. 26 ?
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. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager ICANN From: Don Blumenthal <dblumenthal(a)pir.org> Date: Sunday, November 16, 2014 at 4:51 PM To: Fabien Betremieux <fabien.betremieux(a)icann.org>, "gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org" <gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org> Subject: RE: [Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Can some provide the date and time for the next working group session? 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. Don From: gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Fabien Betremieux Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 12:53 PM To: Jennifer Standiford; gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt(a)icann.org Subject: Re: [Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Can some provide the date and time for the next working group session? Hello Jennifer, Please find below our proposed dates and time for the next IRT meetings.

We think that we could probably use up to 3 meetings given our immediate roadmap as discussed in our meeting during ICANN 51. Please provide your input as soon as possible, and ideally before EOB on Monday 11 November in this doodle poll : http://doodle.com/4747uteebypnrfhr (proposed times are meant to accommodate participants from Singapore all the way to Los Angeles).
