<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>WHEREAS:</span></font>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>1. The
GNSO Council hereby accepts the Working Group report and acknowledges the
tremendous effort by Working Group participants and ICANN staff. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>2.
The GNSO Council does not consider the Working Group report as an adequate
basis for any implementation of the Operational Point of Contact (OPOC)
proposal, due to the inability to reach agreement on a number of key issues
identified in the charter of the Working Group. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>3.
The GNSO Council notes that no comprehensive, objective study has yet been made
of key factual issues regarding the Whois system, and that future ICANN
policymaking could greatly benefit from the results of such a study.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED: </span></font><br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>1. The
GNSO Council thanks all of the volunteers, consultants, staff and others who
have participated in the GNSO's examination of Whois policy over the last four
years.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>2.
Building on the work done in response to paragraph (c) of the GNSO Council
Resolution #3 of September 6, 2007, the Council requests that ICANN staff take
the necessary steps to proceed with a comprehensive, objective study on the
issues identified by the Whois Working Group, by the Governmental Advisory
Committee in its statement of principles on Whois, and by the Council. These
issues include the characteristics of gTLD registrants, the uses and abuses of
Whois data, and a review and analysis of the different proxy services available
today. Specifically, the Council directs the staff to present for its review a
draft Request for Proposals for such a study, including a proposed budget and
timeline, and a methodology for outreach to knowledgeable parties, within 90
days from the date of adoption of this resolution. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>3.
The GNSO Council will take the results of this study, once completed, into
account in deciding on the next steps in Whois policy development. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
