<P class=MsoNormal>Dear Councilors,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As I mentioned on yesterday’s GNSO Council call, a small
group of volunteers is proposing the attached revision to an earlier Whois
Registration Identification study that was previously developed for Council
consideration. (The previous version can be found here: <A
href="http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-23oct09-en.htm">http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-23oct09-en.htm</A>
) As explained in the Rationale, which is also attached, major changes were
made to the text of the Terms of Reference, so we are not providing a redline,
instead there is a summary, also attached, of the key changes that were
made. While the text of the Study Terms of Reference changed
significantly to recast the framing of the study, the cost of the study will
likely increase only slightly, and no more than 20% at the outside, which will
be confirmed if the Council decides to proceed. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The volunteer group recommends that Council members forward
the documents to your respective groups right away for review and action in
the June 9 Council meeting. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
