Thanks, Lynn. I would caution the RT4 to take this (and other) WHOIS studies with a grain of salt. There are many agendas in the community, and not all studies take steps to neutralize any bias in the results. For example, in this particular case many registrars were aware of the study and chose not to respond, thus altering the resulting data and conclusions.

I understand that your agenda planning process is already far advanced, but would be most grateful if you could find us a few minutes. As you may know, the WHOIS Policy Review Team mandated by the Affirmation of Commitments began its enterprise in October 2010. The scope of work and roadmap of the WHOIS RT as well as its activities may be found on the community wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/whoisreview/WHOIS+Policy+Review+Team. The Team partially composed of SO/AC representatives will hold a second public face-to-face meeting in San Francisco on Sunday, 13 March and invite the ICANN community to interact with them on Wednesday, 16 March starting at 11:00 AM ending at noon. In addition to this schedule, the RT Members unanimously expressed the wish to meet with ICANN's respective SO/ACs not only to discuss the task they have entrusted with but also to collect input from constituents. As your feedback and comments are essential in this exercise, it would be a great honor if the WHOIS Policy Review Team could please join your session in San Francisco to exchange views. Please advise whether you would be willing to dedicate an agenda item to the WHOIS Policy RT.

What's the state of "WHOIS National Laws Procedure"
by Lutz Donnerhacke March 15, 2011

March 15, 2011

A community response from a German journalist points to http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-18dec07.htm and asks, why this prodedure is not widely in use. I personally do not grasp the current state from reading http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy May I ask for a clarificantion from ICANN staff?

Re: [Rt4-whois] Draft slide decks for ASO and SSAC

Thank you for preparing the slides. May we add a question to the ccNSO, about sharing their knowledge about national (data protection) law? They already had lengthy experience with whois services in their countries, so they should can tell us which data is allowed to be collected and which data might be published (with restrictions). For the SSAC, the important question for me is, if whois is neccessary to the internet stability, which part of the information is relevant, an how can it verified as well as the service be proteced. For ASO, I'd like to know, how Ressouce Certificates might be applied to domain names, and their experience with hierachical thin whois structures. For ALAC, the following questions arise: * Please inform us about civil society acceptance of Whois services * Tell us about the privacy laws regarding Whois in your countries * Point us about usability problems (i.e. internationalization) * How does Whois help the consumer to trust the Internet We already had an discussion in late January on the Atlarge ML (archived). For all slides some minor point: - The consultations are on March, 15th. - The font on slide two is inconsistent, it's irritating. The URL of te whois wiki can bis shortend to ".../whoisreview/". - On slide four the subgroup of "producers and maintainers" is missing - The last slide four is confusing: The consultation with the groups is mixed with the call for comments The consultation with the groups is mixed with the community consultation I'd propose to copy my version of the last slide (incl. the stable URL). Thank you for the good work.
