Executive Summary - with new Findings and Recommendations Text
by Kathy Kleiman April 28, 2012

April 28, 2012

Hi All, I sat down with three screens open and tried to work my way through the Executive Summary (as promised in our meeting Wed). I referenced our original report, slides from the Public Forum, texts that Alice has finalized, and Comment Summary that Alice prepared. In addition to a few edits to the text to remove a few "rough edges," I tried to cut and paste all the new texts for Findings and Recommendations. No promises, but I did the best I could :-)! Overall, I think this reads very well. I like how the findings and recommendations flow... and I think our work shows! /*If there are some quick edits over the weekend, I may put them in, but otherwise, I pass the pen to Alice, and ask her to post this with our other new sections for review and comment. */ Have a good weekend, Kathy

Recommendation 17
by Lutz Donnerhacke April 25, 2012

April 25, 2012

Thank you for expanding and reformulating the recommendation 17. To my honest surprise the currenct form of this recommendation does not match the original intend anymore. So let me rephrase the main issues again: The AOC requires an "unrestriced and unlimited access to complete data for everybody". The current implementations violate this requirement in three ways: a) Most interfaces are rate limited or otherwise restriced b) Many interfaces does not offer the full set of information c) The interfaces are hard to find and often difficult to use So the recommendation 17 is simply saying: "Please build or extend an interface which is: - Web based for "easy access for everybody" (to solve c) - Multilingual for the same reason - Follows the WHOIS server references downtree starting at whois.iana.org to find any WHOIS server (not just a gTLD) and the necessary information (to solve c and overcome the thin/thick WHOIS discussion at all) - By insisting on ICANN as an operator of this service access to the WHOIS servers of the various partes can be made unrestricted (to solve a) as well as complete (to solve b) This is quite different from the current proposal to do some cosmetic changes on the Internic website ... Sorry.
