<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear Emily, colleagues,
<div>- I would also add the fourth regime to Emily's list: the variety of cctld's with their own WHOIS procedures....</div>
<div>- I think we all need to reach a kind of consensus - which of three (or four) regimes should be treated as 'optimal' (recommended), and under which conditions (in which cirmumstances) the deviations from the optimal/recommended regime can be allowed/admitted.
Let's discuss it tomorrow.</div>
<div>- I am sorry to apologize for not being able to attend today's dinner. I am already in MdR, but due to a terrible jet lag I need to have some rest after almost 14 hours in airspace without sleeping.</div>
<div>Rgds,</div>
<div>Michael<br>

</font><br>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Hi everyone<br>
<br>
Looking forward to our meeting tomorrow, and seeing you guys this evening.<br>
<br>
The New Applicant Guidebook was published today <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-19sep11-en.htm" target="_blank">
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-19sep11-en.htm</a><br>
<br>
Take a look at Question Number 26 of the application form (see page A-19). My question for the review team is this:<br>
<br>
- the criteria for WHOIS are over and above those currently required, and to some extent represent the wish list that the compliance team and others have communicated to us<br>
- Once the new gTLDs have run through, we will have 3 concurrent WHOIS regimes in operation , ie the Thin WHOIS of .com and .net (100m domains), Thick WHOIS of the other "old" gTLDs, and the gold plated WHOIS service for new gTLDs.<br>
<br>
My question for us is - how will these concurrent, differing systems impact on consumers? Will they understand what's required? How will the compliance effort cope with all these differing systems?<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Emily<br clear="all">
