Dear Alan, colleagues,
I am very thankful to Alan for this comments/suggestions/requests. To be frank, I was much more polite with my own assessment of the current developments with the implementation of WHOIS RT procedures.
I do agree with all the proposed suggestions. I have to admit that I missed very important issue, mentioned by Alan in Item 9 ("The WRT recommendation as stated is not
feasible.”etc.). This unfortunate situation really needs clarification.
May I also add a question in the table, prepared by Alan - re Recommendation 13. The staff indicated that they are still 'awaiting GNSO policy on translation or transliteration', while Recommendation 12 suggests that 'ICANN should task a working group' on such issues. The update/clarification is needed.
I fully agree that we need to have an updated feedback from the staff for the whole picture.
Kind regards,
Michael
