<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'>Also agree with listings by acronym or glossary term.<BR>
<BR>
I’d also suggest we add terms that can be considered regularly used “GNSO Council jargon”, such as picket fence or bicameral structure. If we’re trying to help people who aren’t familiar with our processes understand them, then those kind of explanations will be needed.<BR>
<BR>
We might also want to add things like RAA...<BR>

The current specification is documented in RFC 3912 <<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3912.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3912.txt</a>>. ICANN's gTLD agreements require registries and registrars to offer an interactive web page and a port 43 WHOIS service providing free public access to data on registered names. Such data is commonly referred to as "WHOIS data," and includes elements such as the domain registration creation and expiration dates, nameservers, and contact information for the registrant and designated administrative and technical contacts.<BR>
