<DIV><SPAN class=676111015-29102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the Whois
study recommendations from the RyC and also a slide presentation that I am happy
to give in the GNSO Working Session on Saturday if it is
useful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=676111015-29102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Warning: The
complete recommendations document is 25 pages long but please don't be too
intimidated because the recommendations themselves only 11 pages and one of the
reasons for that is that we printed all the hypotheses associated with each
recommendation so that readers would not have to look them up in separate
documents; hopefully that makes the document easier and efficient to
review. There is an executive summary at the beginning that provides a
quick overview. Appendix A explains our methodology and Appendix B
summarizes the results of the RyC decisions made that back up our
recommendations.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=676111015-29102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>The PowerPoint was
designed to be presented with comments so it may or may not be self-explanatory,
but it might provide a quick way to get an overview of our
recommendations.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=676111015-29102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>You will note that
our recommendations are designed with some flexibility and that our approach
might provide a model that the Council could use as we work together to make our
decisions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=676111015-29102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this is
helpful and I apologize for the lateness of our input, but as you can probably
tell, this was a fairly significant task.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
