Fabien, Thank you for providing the Scoping document. Please see my enclosed suggested changes and comments. One suggestion, I would consider the idea of socializing this document with the RrSG ExCom and gather initial feedback prior to full SG distribution. I anticipate this additional step will result in greater Registrar participation for the proposed study. By the way, Network Solutions, LLC (IANA #2) will agreed to participate.

It was agreed among IRT participants that we should reach out to the Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) and assemble a team of volunteers to conduct such analysis. We would like to confirm that this topic will be on the agenda of the RrSG meeting in Marrakech during ICANN 55. We will provide more details when available. Additionally, as discussed during our IRT meeting, we have drafted a scoping paper for this analysis (attached). We are targeting to forward this paper to the RrSG on Monday 1 February. In the meantime, we would like to request you review this paper and share your edits by this Friday 29 January COB in your time zone. Please note that the scoping paper needs your input in the following sections: * Scope of analysis * Thick Whois Data Requirements * Next Steps and Expected Timeline Thank you in advance for your time. Best Regards -- Fabien Betremieux Sr. Registry Services & Engagement Manager Global Domains Division, ICANN
