<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">I would prefer to have some
additional information before voting on more<BR>studies: <BR><BR>1. An update
on the current study already in progress, with estimated<BR>completion date
and then next steps on that for Staff and Council.<SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><SPAN

– the contract for the Whois “Misuse” study is undergoing final internal
review and should be approved very shortly. The study will take about a year
to complete (it is being conducted by an independent research entity and will
be initiated immediately upon contract sign off, we will announce at that
time). No Council action is needed at this time. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">2. Information or report from
Staff on resources required for the above<BR>over the rest of the fiscal year,
and Staff resources that are available<BR>to follow through on additional
studies the rest of this fiscal year.<BR><BR><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Liz
– The studies will all be conducted externally, so staff time will primarily
be needed up-front, to finalize the details in each contract, periodically
throughout the year to monitor progress on each, and then in a year it will
spike again as we post drafts for community comment. The Misuse, Registrant
Identification and Proxy/Privacy Abuse studies will each take a year to
complete following contract ratification. The pre-study on Relay-Reveal
will take about 4 months to do (again, by an outside
firm).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I
estimate 20 hours of policy staff time in the near term to finalize each
contract, along with some incremental consultant hours that were budgeted for
this fiscal year. (Let me say as an aside those numbers pale when
compared with the number of staff hours spent preparing detailed, thorough
RFPs on each of these studies, conducting an open RFP process, and analyzing
the responses fairly and very thoroughly against objective criteria to provide
the costs and feasibility analysis to the Council.)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><BR>3. Information or report
from ICANN's CFO or other appropriate Staff on<BR>money still available for
further studies this fiscal year.<SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Again,
these studies have not started, so none of the funding that was set aside for
Fiscal Year 2011 has been spent on studies. The Council requested, and
the Board approved “at least $400,000” for Fiscal Year 2011. All of the
money is still available in this fiscal year. Please note that given how
much time has elapsed without initiating studies, it will be important for
study funding to be carried into Fiscal Year 2012.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><BR><BR>The above information
will help us make responsible decisions about how<BR>best to use the resources

so move:<BR><BR>Whereas the GNSO Council must make decisions on which pending
Whois<BR>Studies are yet to be pursued (link to appropriate Staff reports on
