She says: “Thanks for posting this comment regarding ICANN's WDPRS. We were not aware that follow-up notices were not being transmitted to reporters. I have asked the site administrator to address this problem right away.<BR>
<BR>
As you know, the follow-up information ICANN receives from reporters is extremely important in determining whether registrars are taking corrective action regarding Whois data inaccuracy reports.<BR>
<BR>
Again, thanks for your comment and you may contact me directly at stacy.burnette@icann if you have any other concerns regarding the WDPRS.”<BR>

The site admin (Kent) is looking at the issue.<BR>
<BR>
ICANN would welcome the names of people who have had any problems so we can contact them directly and find out what the issue was and if there are still ongoing problems.<BR>

<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
All,<BR>
<BR>
With apologies for the short notice, I plan to request in AOB that the<BR>
Council receive from staff a brief report on the status of WPDRS. I've<BR>
seen several messages in the past day or so regarding reported problems<BR>
with WPDRS. Given the importance of the WPDRS to Internet users, it<BR>
would be helpful to have more information (e.g., whether there is a<BR>
problem, what the problem is, how long it has existed, when it will be<BR>
corrected).<BR>
<BR>

Motion by: Philip Sheppard<BR>

change to the bylaws drafted by the ICANN general council's office to<BR>
permit absentee voting in certain specific circumstances.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
c. Absentee voting. Members that are absent from a meeting at the time<BR>
of a vote on whether to initiate a PDP, forward a policy recommendation<BR>
to the Board, or fill a position open for election may vote by absentee<BR>
ballot. The GNSO Secretariat will provide reasonable means for<BR>
transmitting and authenticating absentee ballots, which could include<BR>
voting by telephone, e-mail, or web-based interface. Absentee ballots<BR>
must be submitted within 72 hours after the start of the meeting in<BR>
which a vote is initiated, except that in exceptional circumstances<BR>
announced at the time of the vote the Chair may reduce this time to 24<BR>
hours or extend the time to 7 days.<BR>
