[council] Update on Whois studies discussions<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>All,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Following is an update on discussions that have been
occurring with several registries and others regarding pending consideration
of the Whois studies. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Staff has participated in three calls with Chuck Gomes,
Kathy Kleiman and Don Blumenthal of the Registry Stakeholder Group and Steve
Del Bianco of the Business Constituency to help the Registry Stakeholder Group
understand some of the details of the pending Whois studies, and to provide
further information so that they can decide which studies they might want to
support, or whether modifications might be desired to mitigate any
concerns. The plan has been for the RySG to develop possible amendments
to the Whois study motion if needed, and have them reviewed by the RySG in
time for them to be submitted to the Council list not later than Wednesday, 30
March for consideration in the 7 April Council meeting. While the
discussions focused specifically on the RySG concerns, the group also noted
that Steve and Kathy would communicate with CSG and NCSG members respectively
as needed or helpful.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As a result of these discussions, good progress was made on
studies 3 and 4. Staff prepared a synopsis of the pre-study survey
proposed for Study #4, and I have attached that document in the hopes that it
will also be useful for the full Council in your deliberations.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>More time is needed for the RySG to discuss study #2, the
“Registrant Identification” Study and a follow up call will be scheduled to
continue the discussions on this study. The RySG will decide in its
meeting on Wednesday what it will recommend regarding studies 3 and
4.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As these studies are of broad interest, the RySG reps asked
me to convey the current status to all of you.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks, Liz<B><o:p></o:p></B></P>
