<DIV>I wonder if we might chat about your (and the ISPs) view of the WhoIs
motion as amended?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think you are agreed that there is a need for data on which to base
better decisions. I wanted to confirm that and get your take on the

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">As discussed during
the San Francisco Council meeting, members of the RySG met with Liz Gassner
and Steve Delbianco to work on the issues that the RySG had with both
the current WHOIS resolution motion put on the table by John Berard and the
descriptions put out by ICANN staff on the actual WHOIS studies. We
are happy to report that we are able to provide the following revised motion
on the WHOIS studies which, with these changes, we are now able to
support. We are proposing that these changes be accepted as a friendly
amendment. I have copied a redline of the motion in this e-mail with
strikethroughs representing deletions and red italic text for
additions. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><BR>The attached
document discusses the rationale for the changes and provides the changes
that we would like to see made to the description of the </SPAN>Whois
Privacy and Proxy “Abuse” study. These changes were discussed with Liz
and Steve Delbianco as well. <BR><BR>We truly hope that this
demonstrates our commitment to making progress on these issues and that you
find these changes acceptable.<O:P></O:P></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">Whereas:<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">In October 2007, the GNSO Council concluded
that a comprehensive and objective understanding of key factual issues
regarding the gTLD WHOIS system would benefit future GNSO policy development
efforts (<A title="(external link)"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/"
target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/</A>).<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">Before defining study details, the Council
solicited suggestions from the community for specific topics of study on
WHOIS. Suggestions were submitted (<A title="(external link)"
href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/WHOIS-comments-2008/"
target=_blank>http://forum.icann.org/lists/WHOIS-comments-2008/</A>) and
ICANN staff prepared a 'Report on Public Suggestions on Further Studies of
WHOIS', dated 25-Feb-2008 (<A title="(external link)"

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 28-Mar-2008 the GNSO Council resolved to
form a WHOIS Study Working Group to develop a proposed list, if any, of
recommended studies for which ICANN staff would be asked to provide cost
estimates to the Council (<A title="(external link)"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-27mar08.shtml"
target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-27mar08.shtml</A>).<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">The WHOIS Study WG did not reach consensus
regarding further studies, and on 25-Jun-2008 the GNSO Council resolved to
form a new WHOIS Hypotheses working group to prepare a list of hypotheses
from the 'Report on Public Suggestions on Further Studies of WHOIS' and the
GAC letter on WHOIS studies (<A title="(external link)"
href="http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf"
target=_blank>http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf</A>).
The WG reported to the Council on 26-Aug-2008. (<A title="(external link)"

<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 5-Nov-2008, the Council convened a group
of Councilors and constituency members to draft a resolution regarding
studies, if any, for which cost estimates should be obtained. The Whois
Study Drafting Team further consolidated studies including those from the
GAC (<A title="(external link)"
href="http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf"
target=_blank>http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karlins-to-thrush-16apr08.pdf</A>).
The 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></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 04-Mar-2009, Council requested Staff to
conduct research on feasibility and cost estimates for selected Whois
studies and report its findings to Council. (See Motion 3, <A
title="(external link)" href="http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200903"
target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200903</A>).<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 23-Mar-2010, Staff presented a report on
the feasibility and cost estimates for the Whois “Misuse” and Whois
“Registrant Identification” Studies, finding that each study would cost
approximately $150,000 and take approximately one year to complete. (<A

target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-studies-report-for-gnso-23mar10-en.pdf</A>).
The Whois Registrant Identification study would gather info about how
business/commercial domain registrants are identified, and correlate such
identification with the use of proxy/privacy services.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">The ICANN Board approved in Brussels a
FY2011 budget that includes at least $400,000 for WHOIS studies (see <A

target=_blank>http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25jun10-en.htm#8</A>).<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 8-September-2010 the GNSO Council
approved a resolution requesting staff to proceed with the Whois “Misuse”
Study, which would explore the extent to which publicly displayed WHOIS data
is misused, <A title="(external link)"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201009"
target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201009</A>.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 5-October-2010, staff provided
feasibility and cost analysis for a Whois Privacy and Proxy “Abuse” study,
<A title="(external link)"

target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/gnso-whois-pp-abuse-studies-report-05oct10-en.pdf</A>.
This study would compare broad sample of domains registered with a proxy or
privacy service provider that are associated with alleged harmful acts with
overall frequency of proxy and privacy registrations. This study was
estimated to cost $150,000 and take less than a year to
complete.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in">On 11-February-2011, staff provided a
feasibility and cost analysis for a Whois Proxy and Privacy “Relay and
Reveal” study, <A title="(external link)"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-pp-relay-reveal-studies-report-11feb11-en.pdf"
target=_blank>http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-pp-relay-reveal-studies-report-11feb11-en.pdf</A>,
which would analyze relay and reveal requests sent for Privacy and
Proxy-registered domains to explore and document how they are processed. The
staff analysis concluded that it was premature to conduct a full study, and
recommended that a pre-study “survey” be conducted first, to determine if
launching a full study is feasible to do.<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">Resolved:<O:P></O:P></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.75in"><S>Council requests ICANN staff to proceed
