<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Dear RrSG and RySG members and colleagues,</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Attached please find the draft Whois advisory that ICANN intends to publish as final by 27-Apr-2015 with an effective implementation date of at least, 6 months after publication (final effective date TBD), </font><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">providing
contracted parties ample time to implement any necessary changes.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you may know we have had several interactions between ICANN and the community to define the contents of the Advisory. We believe this Advisory incorporates the input received and is ready for publication. We wanted to give a heads up to the contracted
parties and the community in general of the upcoming publication.</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Thank you again for your time and your constructive inputs.</font></div>
