Team,
On behalf of Alan, below please find our response to Monday's plenary call action item. We were asked to clarify the Rec 2 subgroup's final question and answer in Section 3.3.3, Analysis and Findings -- see page 24 of the 26 August draft. Proposed alternative text appears below:
4) Finally, the subgroup considered whether the Board’s request and process framework for a Next-Generation RDS PDP, using the EWG Final Report as input to (and, if appropriate, a foundation for) a new gTLD policy, was effective in producing the single comprehensive RDS (WHOIS) policy envisioned by the WHOIS1 Review Team.
It is the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team's view that, had the plan been executed to completion, a single comprehensive RDS (WHOIS) policy could have emerged. In any event, the ICANN Board-adopted Temporary Specification and the consensus policy expected to result from the Expedited PDP should form the basis for a single RDS (WHOIS) policy. It remains to be seen exactly what additional work, if any, may be need to create a single comprehensive RDS (WHOIS) policy.
Any objections or amendments to this proposed alternative text should be sent to the RT mailing list ASAP but no later than 29 August 23.59 UTC.
Regards,
Lisa
