<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=126302623-28052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Thanks for this report Liz. It was helpful for me to
read the rationale provided by each side, but I found it difficult without going
to other documents to readily understand study categories and study
numbers. I have a few questions and comments in that
regard.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=126302623-28052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Am I correct in concluding that there are multiple studies
under consideration for each category? If that is the case, it would be
helpful to have the individual studies identified in the report, possibly in an
Annex. That would also have made it easier to figure out what studies were
being referenced when the study # was given. It is my opinion that reports
like this should be as self-contained as possible without making them too bulky;
otherwise, it becomes extremely time consuming for those who did not
directly participate to read and understand the material.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=126302623-28052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Am I correct that the numbers in the table in Annex 1 refer
to priorities 1-7 and that those who provided the priorities ranked the seven
categories? Was everyone asked to do the same thing in this regard?
I note that the RyC response is very different from the rest.and tough to
correlate with the other data.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

to make sure I understand the report; 2) to possibly identify ways that reports

<P class=MsoNormal>Council members:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Attached please find the final report of the WHOIS study
group, which was convened by the Council on 27 March to examine the study
recommendations suggested by the public (and later augmented with study
suggestions recommended by the Government Advisory Committee), and to make a
recommendation to the Council. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also, in the course of discussions on further studies of
WHOIS, study participants asked for more information on IRIS and specifically
more information about what it would take to implement IRIS from both a
technical and policy perspective. Steve Crocker has provided an email
response (also attached), and has also offered to participate in a Q & A
or broader discussion, at which SSAC experts could have a dialogue with the
GNSO Council and constituency representatives. Staff would be happy to
coordinate such a conversation at the Council’s request.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The WHOIS study group would be glad to answer questions
about the report and our deliberation process.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
