All, could we talk about this at our call tomorrow? The question is whether the council - at its meeting on Feb 16 - still needs to act since WHOIS Access is definitely not part of the tasks for WHOIS Survey WG.

It's still a "held-over" recommendation on the projects list, an update of which I'll send around shortly. And would you like to add an "official" agenda item w/r/t the open council meeting DT, or just cover that in your projects list review? I am noting it as awaiting Council action on the draft project update.

My feeling is that there's no appetite for pushing this issue any further and this should be considered a closed item. What do others think?

Or at least have a discussion with the Council? Just checking... Thanks, Liz From: Liz Gasster Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2012 11:30 AM To: 'Stéphane Van Gelder'; Gnso Chairs Subject: RE: [gnso-chairs] Agenda updates Hi Stéphane, I'm not exactly sure what the Council will want as a next step on the WHOIS accessibility issue but how about a motion that says that if the issue is not addressed in the RAA negotiations (presumably as part of the SLA item) then it would be included for consideration in the RAA PDP? Staff could draft up such a motion or any other requested. Here is what the discussion description could say (feel free to edit of course): On 6 October, 2011, the GNSO Council approved language in its resolution to address remaining Registration Abuse Policies Working Group Recommendations requesting that the WHOIS Service Requirements Survey Working Group consider including the issue of WHOIS Access as part of the survey it has been tasked to develop. (Glen - please insert link to 6 October RAP resolution) The Resolution further stated that if the WHOIS Survey Working Group (WSWG) is of the view that it is not appropriate or timely to include WHOIS Access as part of the survey, it should inform the GNSO Council accordingly so that the GNSO Council can determine what next steps, if any, might be appropriate at this stage in relation to this recommendation. The WS WG indeed considered this recommendation, however, as explained in a response to the GNSO Council on 10 January, the Working Group ultimately concluded that the issue does not fall within the remit of its current charter and recommended that the item not be included in their upcoming survey. So, the Council now needs to make a decision regarding whether further action should be taken, and if so, what those next steps should be. Would a motion be helpful?

Glen, I have also attempted to help you out by adding proper duration times for each agenda item. I will leave the numbering until we are sure the agenda is finished. On the CR agenda review item, I have added specific subitems on agendas for each of our 3 key meetings (Board, GAC, ccNSO) as the Council needs to work on this. On IRTP Rec 9 2. Marika, I don't get your point. A motion was passed approving Council recommendations to the Board at the last meeting. On IRTP Rec 8, Marika do you know if a new motion is being worked on? On the issue report on thick whois, Marika can you please draft a suggested agenda item for me? I have remove the OTF item. On the Whois accessibility item, Liz can you please draft a suggested agenda item as I don't know what else we can do here?
