Thanks Denise All - It's good to see that the issues report (page 27-28) mentions the WHOIS RT as follows: In addition to the GNSO’s policy work on WHOIS, the GNSO Council should take note of the work recently conducted by the WHOIS Review Team (WHOIS RT). The WHOIS RT was established by the ICANN Board in response to the Affirmation of Commitments to review the effectiveness of ICANN’s WHOIS policies. On 5 December, 2011, the WHOIS RT’s Initial Report was posted for public comment, and includes a series of recommendations to amend the WHOIS related obligations as listed in the RAA. Due to the overlap of issues related to WHOIS, Staff believes that a PDP on WHOIS should include evaluation of these additional RAA recommendations produced by the WHOIS RT.
