Your comments on this heinous draft would be appreciated. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gnso-whois-wg] Draft final report Whois group v 1.5 Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:33:33 +0200 From: Philip Sheppard <philip.sheppard@aim.be> To: <gnso-whois-wg@icann.org> References: <469F0B7D.9020700@gnso.icann.org> WHOIS working group members, I attach version 1.5 of our draft report. I hope we have more or less completed productive discussion on the key issues. If there are additional areas where you would still like to make input please do so not by expressing opinion or hope (we've done that!) but by proposing methods that are practical, cost effective and capable of implementation. The final version of the report will have several additions made by staff to bring it into line with standard format such as references back to the group charter, record of discussions, etc. But to make our life in this large group as simple as possible the current format should be easier to follow with respect to its policy recommendations. What we need to hear now are any divergences to the agreed, supported or alternate views outlined in the draft. Please do this NOT by use of the tracking function in Word but by e-mail and reference to the line number in the report. (Multiple author word tracking is almost impossible to edit and messes up the line numbering function so making discussion on any new points troublesome.) Lets structure this in two parts. Part 1 : - Sections 1 - 4 Input now and the teleconference of 25 July Part 2: - Sections 5 to the end Input from 25 July and the teleconference of 1 August.
