[RDS-WHOIS2-Reports] Clarifications pertaining to ICANN operating plan and WHOIS annual report

[Alice Jansen]

Dear WHOIS1 Recs 15-16 Subgroup Members,

See below clarifications that were requested<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rds-whois2-reports/2018-July/000023.html>:

  *   ICANN annual operating plan. Overall, RDS covers several different areas of work within the community and the organization, including in relation to reviews, contracted parties, policy development work or emerging issues such as the GDPR. Those areas of work managed by ICANN org are reflected in the ICANN annual operating plan as a listing of projects. ICANN’s project management system contains the detailed activities under these projects and progress are reported on icann.org. The written briefing for recommendations 15 and 16 provided links to previous operating plans and descriptions of how WHOIS is reflected in each operating plan. It is important to note that ICANN annual operating plan is not an implementation project plan and therefore would not include the detail activities of each project. Separate and in addition to the ICANN annual operating plan, ICANN org published annual WHOIS status reports that provided completed deliverables, upcoming key dates, and status of implementation activities in progress.
  *   WHOIS annual report. Recommendations 15-16 asked for a status report of progress toward implementation of the WHOIS1 review team’s recommendations. The recommendations did not ask for ICANN org’s assessment of the outcome/impact of implementation. ICANN org published the first WHOIS annual report in 2013. The 2016 report showed completion of implementation of the recommendations from the first WHOIS review team. As the recommendation was to report on progress toward completion of implementation and implementation has been completed, no further reports are planned.

Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
Kind regards
Alice
