<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
How has WHOIS been implemented in staff incentivization including for the CEO? Are there specific clauses in staff contracts, including the CEO’s, that link compensation to WHOIS implementation or management outcomes? Were KPIs adduced/developed? Were these
part of the at-risk compensation portion or the general compensation? What percentage of the overall compensation, at-risk or otherwise, could be connected to WHOIS matters?
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
How has WHOIS been integrated into the organizational objectives? Did the ICANN 5-year Operating Plan contain any specific references to WHOIS and what year were they incorporated in that Plan? If it was and is no longer included in the ICANN operational plan,
what year did it roll away? Were metrics developed that are connected to any WHOIS activity or outcomes? Are there specific measurable outcomes connected to contracted parties for WHOIS outcomes?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
What aspects of the WHOIS are serving as incentive[s] or part of the organizational objectives? Is[are] this[these] aspect[s] amenable to measurement? And if so, what were the measurement criteria adopted? Can the outcomes be shared?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;text-align:justify;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
Has the Board created a committee including the CEO that is responsible for the WHOIS and for key actions? If yes, has the committee met?

Are the documents available for viewing or sharing?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">How has the CEO complied with the instruction from the Board to oversee improvements to the contractual conditions relating to gTLD WHOIS data in the gTLD Registry and Registrar agreements? What
concrete actions has he taken himself, or staff at his direction, to facilitate improvements to the conditions (e.g. meetings, outreach, suggestions for improvement, facilitation of community dialogue aimed at improvements)? Are there any documents (meeting
minutes, internal or external memos, etc.) that can demonstrate these actions?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">How has the CEO complied with the instruction from the Board to create appropriate reporting of these improvements and to implement staff incentivisation? Are there standard clauses in relevant
employee contracts reflecting such incentivisation, and how is the incentivisation structured? Have any other measures been taken to incentivize staff to implement the strategic priority recommendation? How often does staff report to the CEO or the Board on
Whois improvements and what form does that take? Are there any documents (internal reporting, meeting minutes, memos etc.) that can demonstrate compliance?<br>

it taken?

did ICANN take related to this?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">What defects in WHOIS contractual obligations were identified?

<span style="color:#333333;background:white"> “Records of Board/CEO Committee on WHOIS including Terms of Reference/Charter, minutes of meetings, work plan, objectives and outputs</span>”. Could you clarify which Committee the subgroup is referring to? Is it

</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In absence of Volker’s input, may we announce the questions you prepared as an official request to SMEs? If you agree, could you send a note to the list? Is the objective
to hold a discussion or will you be asking for a written briefing instead? If a discussion, it would be great if you could provide a timeframe for when the call should be scheduled so we may confirm with SMEs and launch a doodle poll accordingly.

</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Finally, I wanted to seek your guidance on the following ask “<span style="color:#333333;background:white">Identify potential interview candidate(s) for a Q&A on the Board's action plan</span>”.
Given the above requests and the progress the subgroup has made in formulating questions for ICANN org, I wanted to make sure that through the questions and written materials you are getting all the information you are seeking.
