Comments on the draft report
by Emily Taylor Dec. 29, 2011

Dec. 29, 2011

Hi all I hope you are having a good holiday season. You will have seen that the FTC wrote to ICANN's leadership recently ( http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/16/ftc-letter-to-icann) and quoted extensively from our draft report. I wrote a blog piece for Dot-Nxt ( http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/27/ftc-and-whois) which looks at the FTC's comments on WHOIS more closely in the light of our recommendations and findings. In the meantime, I received these comments today from Nick Wood of Com Laude/Valideus: -------------- I have just had the time to sit and read your report - and I found it to be full of wise, sensible and practical recommendations. Please pass on my congratulations to your colleagues. I support your alternative suggestion for Public comment in 17: a doorway to complete gTLD whois information managed by ICANN in the public interest is something that ICANN should have done 10 years ago! I will be co-ordinating some comments from MARQUES Best wishes Nick Nick Wood Managing Director Com Laude & Valideus -------------- I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all on the Review Team, and the ICANN staff who have supported our work so ably over the past year, a very happy and prosperous New Year!

Compliance letter - weird formatting - help!
by Emily Taylor Dec. 12, 2011

Dec. 12, 2011

Hi Alice I found this draft from about 24 November in my e-mail. I have just gone through this morning and reviewed the letter very quickly, and produced a clean copy for any final comments by the team today. If there are no comments by 1700 UTC today (and this has been quite a stable document for quite a long time now), please would you try and find a suitable letter head for us - i don't know what to suggest for this, because we're independent from ICANN but we are an ICANN review- and pop in my signature on behalf of the WHOIS review team, and send off to Maguy, I guess (or the correct person at ICANN Compliance). Thanks Emily ---------- DRAFT message (unsent) Hi Alice I spent quite a bit of time yesterday reviewing the Compliance letter for content that might go back into the report. As you may remember, I over-edited it, with the result that practically all of the compliance-related content disappeared. I decided to put the "GAP ANALYSIS" back into the report, and thanks to James' comments on what's not within the power of the compliance team, I've suggested that we lift a few of the recommendations there back in to the full report. I don't know what's happened, but practically all of this document has gone into green tracked changes, even though I think that the content has been pretty stable for a long time. I'm cc'ing James and Kathy in case either have any insight or memory into why this might have occurred! Am brain dead at this stage. Would you mind investigating, and making a nice clean copy - James, I'm looking to you to highlight any remaining bear traps here.
