Thick Whois Policy Development Process Final Report and Recommendations<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf> WHEREAS 1. On 14 March 2012, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process (PDP) on Thick Whois to make recommendations to the GNSO Council regarding the use of thick Whois by all gTLD registries, both existing and future. 2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, resulting in a Final Report delivered on 21 October 2013; 3. The Thick Whois PDP WG has reached full consensus on the recommendations contained in the report in relation to Thick Whois; 4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations. Now therefore be it resolved, 1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of Thick Whois recommendations as detailed in section 7.1 of the Final Report http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf 2. The GNSO Council shall convene a Thick Whois Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation fulfills the intentions of the approved policy recommendations. If the Implementation Review Team identifies any potential modifications to the policy recommendations or need for new policy recommendations, the Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a call for volunteers for a Thick Whois Implementation Review Team to the members of the Thick Whois Working Group. 2. Revised Charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation WHEREAS 1. On 28 April 2011 the GNSO Council approved the charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI); 2. In 2013 the SCI determined that the Charter as originally approved no longer reflected the current role of the SCI as a standing committee, and furthermore did not contain procedures for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the SCI; 3. The SCI requested guidance from the GNSO Council as to how to proceed with revisions to the Charter that would address its concerns; 4. At its meeting on 05 September 2013 the GNSO Council endorsed the SCI as a standing committee and further requested that the SCI proceed to revise the Charter as it may deem necessary, with the exception of the section on Decision Making; 5. The SCI has since revised the Charter to reflect its role as a standing committee and to include procedures to select the Chair and Vice Chair; and The GNSO Council has reviewed the revised Charter submitted by the SCI. RESOLVED, 1. The GNSO Council thanks the SCI for its work to date; and 2. The GSNO Council approves the revised SCI Charter at [INSERT LINK] which will replace the previous charter effective immediately upon adoption of this motion 3.
