Dear All, 1. ICANN has a clear policy document, which identifies motivation/need/objectives of WHOIS service(s), WHOIS data required, and the stakeholders and their responsibilities in the process 2. The policy document is translated into existing/additonal SLAs with relevant stakeholders 3. Consumer should be the owner of the data in the process and should have EASY access to update data in his/her language (considering a monolingual non-latin consumer as well) I will not be able to attend the call as I am teaching a class at this time. Regards, Sarmad 3. Brainstorming recommendations. For our next call, I would like to start brainstorming our recommendations, and I want everyone to pick their top 3. I think Bill put it nicely in our last meeting: "Pretend to be the wisest, most benevolent dictator. You need to fix this problem, but you cannot alienate one or more groups of your subjects. What would you do to solve it?" So, on our next call, we will do a virtual tour de table, and deliver our 3 recommendations.
