More good inputs. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> Date: 2012/5/13 Subject: Re: [At-Large] [WHOIS-WG] Fwd: WHOIS Policy Review Team Final Report To: At-Large Worldwide <at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@gmail.com> Cc: "<whois-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org>" <whois-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org> I thought it was a masterful job of side-stepping the controversial issues, placing the blame for past problems right where it belongs and making it clear that ICANN can do a MUCH better job if there is a real will to do so.

FYI. IMHO, the Final Report offers improved clarity and crispness in language. A few additions/clarifications from the preliminary report peaks interest:
1. WHOIS must be established as a strategic priority for ICANN. They doubled down by providing some definitive [and guiding!] recommendations to the Board to that objective.
2. Explicitly valorize the finding of widespread interest/convergence of WHOIS matters in the global community by recommending a fulsome outreach initiative.
3. Makes an explicit connection between anticipated improved compliance with a different reporting structure for ICANN Compliance that compels greater accountability from ICANN Board for outcomes, coupled with more transparent operations.
4. Declares in favour of " *a clear, unambiguous and enforceable chain of **contractual agreements with registries, registrars, and registrants to require the **provision and maintenance of accurate WHOIS data*.".
Speaking as Chair of the At-Large WHOIS WG, I shall recommend that the ALAC issue a statement fully endorsing the recommendations of the Final Report - Carlton
