I will keep this response short and expand my expression of appreciation later. At the moment, I want to move things along briskly. Alice's note arrived with Dropbox instructions. I am cc'ing the Board on this note and I will forward Alice's note as well. Our next step will be a thorough reading and an analysis of the feasibility, resources required and locus of responsibility for implementation of each recommendation. We will be looking to Denise for this input, with assistance from all relevant parties.

Alice Jansen will provide you with access to the files through Dropbox (as the file sizes are too big to send through email). You will observe that, in the light of feedback received from the community, including our meeting with the Board in Costa Rica, we have made extensive changes to the presentation of the findings and recommendations. I hope this clears up any ambiguities in the previous wording. The thrust of the findings and recommendations, however, remains largely unchanged. On substance, our chapter on Compliance (Chapter 4) is completely rewritten, and forms the basis for stronger findings and recommendations than in the previous draft. I understand that the next stage in the process would be for the Board to conduct a public comment, but for the WHOIS Review Team this is the end of our process. It has been my privilege to serve as Chair to the WHOIS Review Team, and work with such a strong team of colleagues, now friends, all of whom have served as volunteers. They have been immensely generous with their time, sharing of deep expertise, and most of all a willingness to consider opposing views, and other perspectives, which was the key to finding consensus recommendations. I wish the Board and the ICANN community well in your ongoing WHOIS deliberations, which I will observe with interest - from a safe distance!
