Change of time for conference call
by Tony Holmes Aug. 3, 2010

Aug. 3, 2010

All Those of us in Seoul discussed holding a conference call on Friday 6th November at 13.00 UTC. Tony Harris has since advised that he will be unable to join at that time as it clashes with an important OSC work team call. Therefore I propose that we change the time of this call to 14.30 UTC. Call in details will be circulated shortly. Regards Tony

WG: [council] Initial WHOIS Service Requirements Report for Council review and discussion
by KnobenW＠telekom.de March 29, 2010

March 29, 2010

We should look for commenting voluinteers in our call tomorrow. Regards Wolf-Ulrich ________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Liz Gasster Gesendet: Samstag, 27. März 2010 03:14 An: GNSO Council List Betreff: [council] Initial WHOIS Service Requirements Report for Council review and discussion All, On 7 May, 2009, the GNSO Council requested that policy staff, with the assistance of technical staff and GNSO Council members as required, collect and organize a comprehensive set of requirements for the WHOIS service policy tools. The GNSO Council asked that these requirements reflect not only the known deficiencies in the current WHOIS service but also should include any possible requirements that may be needed to support various policy initiatives that have been suggested in the past. Attached is staff's Initial WHOIS Service Requirements Report in response to this request. Steve Sheng is the primary author of this report. As part of the work, the GNSO Council also requested that we consult with the ALAC, ccNSO, GAC and SSAC on this initial report, and an updated synthesis will be prepared following those consultations. Specifically, through the staff liaisons, we will be sending this report to each of the SO and AC Chairs and we are seeking specific input as follows: 1) Have we adequately identified the origins of each requirement and provided sufficient background? 2) Did we miss any important requirements of or improvements to WHOIS that have been discussed to-date? 3) Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve the clarity of the document? 4) any other comments are welcome. We are asking for comments by close of business on Monday, May 17. Our plan is to incorporate the feedback into the draft report and publish the final report before the Brussels meeting. We consider this report to be a working document that will be updated and refined upon community review. Questions and input should be directed to Steve Sheng of the policy staff. Both Steve and I gave "preview" presentations of this report during the Nairobi meetings and we can provide a brief overview at the upcoming Council meeting. Steve will be conducting two webinars during April and May to brief the community on the report and to respond to questions. More information on those events is forthcoming. We thank you in advance for your valuable feedback. Liz Gasster and Steve Sheng

AW: [ispcp] WG: [council] Extended deadline - Call For Volunteers for the Working Group for the Vertical Integration PDP - 31 MARCH
by KnobenW＠telekom.de March 26, 2010

March 26, 2010

Maggie, the WG already consists of > 50 volunteers - I don't know how they'll manage it. That's one reason not to recommend your participation. The other one is that - subject to a afformative council motion on April 1st - "the GNSO Council supports the formation of a joint SO/AC working group to respond to the Board's request by developing a sustainable approach to providing support to new gTLD applicants requiring assistance in applying for and operating new gTLDS". If that motion succeeds I'd like to ask you to volunteer for this highly political and emotional work item. We should talk about during our call next Tuesday.

The work will be done an expedited basis, with an expected completion date of 30 June 2010, and will follow the parameters of the charter approved by the GNSO Council for this PDP. If you would like to participate in this working group as a volunteer, kindly respond by email to <gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org> by Monday, 22 March.

The chair is expected to serve his/her duties in a neutral manner, in accordance with the GNSO Working Group guidelines. Please be prepared to nominate and vote an individual to serve as chair for this working group.

WG: [council] Initial staff report on GNSO-requested WHOIS studies attached for your review and discussion
by KnobenW＠telekom.de March 24, 2010

March 24, 2010

Dear all: I'd like to briefly discuss the report on the ISPCP call next week in order to get advice for the councillors on which studies should be focused (council meeting on April 1st). Regards Wolf-Ulrich _____ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] Im Auftrag von Liz Gasster Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24. März 2010 00:47 An: GNSO Council List Cc: Steve Sheng Betreff: [council] Initial staff report on GNSO-requested WHOIS studies attached for your review and discussion All, Attached please find staff's initial report on WHOIS studies as requested by the Council on 4 March 2009. I will provide an overview of this report at the Council's upcoming 1 April meeting, and I look forward to your comments and input. My report will also be posted here shortly. https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?whois_discussion# I will also be posting my presentation slides by the end of this week. I'd also like to make the following points: 1. I want to recognize that this effort has been underway for quite some time, and while I have provided many updates along the way, I understand that the background and context may be new to Council members who joined the GNSO following the discussions that led to initiation of this work. I would be glad to add additional background or detail as requested. There was a significant body of work that the Council and community engaged in that led up to the decision in March 2009 to pursue costs and feasibility for the specific study areas selected. There were also other studies initially proposed by members of the community and by the GAC. Those described in my report were selected by the Council for staff to pursue. 2. The Policy staff is also releasing a first draft later this month of an additional "study" that was requested by the GNSO Council in May 2009. This "study" is more accurately described as a compilation or synthesis of WHOIS Service Requirements, that includes known deficiencies in the current service and "any possible requirements that may be needed to support various policy initiatives that have been suggested in the past". As requested in the resolution initiating this work, when Staff releases the report, we will be consulting with the SSAC, ALAC, GAC, the ccNSO and the GNSO on this draft, and an updated synthesis will be prepared following those consultations. Steve Sheng is the primary author of this upcoming report. 3. Regarding both reports, staff has tried to be responsive to the expectations of the GNSO in initiating the requests. If more work is needed or you have something further in mind, please let us know. We consider both to be working documents that can be updated or refined upon community review. 4. There are many important details to consider, but ultimately the Council will want to consider whether to recommend funding for WHOIS studies in the FY 2011 budget. WHOIS studies have been noted as a potential future expense for some time, but the analysis I've just completed provides much-needed detail on specific costs to anticipate for the WHOIS Misuse and WHOIS Registrant Identification studies. At the time this work was initiated, there were differing views about whether / which studies should be undertaken. Hopefully the information provided will be useful to the Council in considering next steps. I might also suggest that this information be provided to the GAC given its extensive previous recommendations for further study of WHOIS. Staff can forward the report or the Council may certainly do so. Again, we look forward to your comments and input! Thanks, Liz
