<div class="">Looking at the Board resolution, I think the following purpose seems to fit the bill and I’d like to suggest we include this on our list. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">“The purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data is to provide a record of domain name ownership”. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Note I suspect the word “ownership” isn’t quite appropriate here - so some word-smithing may be required. </div>

<b class=""><i class="">"Resolved (2015.04.26.10)</i></b><i class="">, the Board reaffirms its request for a Board-initiated GNSO policy development process to define the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and

3. ICANN should defer other activity directed at finding a ?solution? to ?the WHOIS problem? until the registration data policy identified in (1) and (2) has been developed and accepted."<br class="">
<br class="">
</i>This is why this WG must examine not just policies that pertain to access, and not just a system that provides that access, but the entire purpose of collecting, maintaining, and providing access to data. This applies whether that system is a new next-gen
system or an updated WHOIS system. If we cannot make some headway on the question of purpose, as SAC055 pointed out and the board agreed, then we are unlikely to make headway on specific policies intended to support each stakeholder's varying and sometimes
divergent views about what the purpose should be.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
