Hi all As promised, I'll be working through my comments on the mega-huge draft this week, and circulating to the list. If anyone else feels moved to do this too, please do so, and we'll ask Alice to hold the pen and consolidate the draft s if there are different proposed edits (there are bound to be). My headline thoughts on the draft are: - It's very good in places - The narrative needs to come across more strongly, and having agreed our draft recommendations will help us with this, as will the executive summary. - There are some chunks of text which I'm struggling to know where to fit in (if at all). - Having had our discussion with Compliance, I'm minded to take out a lot of the detail on the compliance effort and append a detailed letter with suggested actions to the report, with conclusions and headline recommendations in the text. Lastly, before our next call, can we think about and circulate any recommendations which fell off the radar screen during the last meeting. The ones I can think of are: - Lutz had a suggestion about some sort of portal which aggregated all WHOIS data and provided reverse look up capability being run by a neutral source (ICANN?). I think this may have grown out of our Thick/Thin discussions, but am not sure. Lutz: would you be happy to draft out some first ideas on this one for us? - Sarmad: We have a placeholder for an IDN recommendation, and also for a brief bit of text for the report. Could you let us have this as soon as possible?
