<p class=MsoNormal>(http://gnso.icann.org/issues/WHOIS-privacy/WHOIS-study-suggestion-report-25feb08.pdf

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On 5 November 2008 the GNSO Council formed
a drafting team to solicit further constituency views assessing both the
priority level and the feasibility<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>of the various proposed WHOIS studies, with
the goal of deciding which studies, if any, should be assessed for cost and
feasibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The Drafting Team determined that the six
studies with the highest average priority scores should be the subject of
further research to determine feasibility and obtain cost estimates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On 4 March 2009 the GNSO Council requested
that Staff conduct research on feasibility and cost estimates for those six
WHOIS studies and following that assessment the Council would decide which
studies should be conducted (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200903)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On 23 March 2010, staff provided its
analysis to the GNSO Council of costs and feasibility for the first two study areas,
and will continue to work on the remaining areas<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If funding becomes available, the Council
will then decide which studies to fund, if any, provided that the
Council’s recommendation of this amount is not to be taken as an
indication that the Council will recommend any or particular studies be
performed provided that the total ICANN budget for FY11 is not increased as a
result of funding WHOIS studies<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Resolved, that the GNSO Council recommends that at least $
400,000 be set aside in the ICANN Budget for FY 2011.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Resolved further, that the GNSO secretariat communicate this
resolution to the ICANN Chief Financial Officer and the Board Finance
Committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
