<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi all<br>
<br>
I hope you are having a good holiday season.<br>
<br>
You will have seen that the FTC wrote to ICANN's leadership recently (<a href="http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/16/ftc-letter-to-icann">http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/16/ftc-letter-to-icann</a>) and quoted extensively from our draft report.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wrote a blog
 piece for Dot-Nxt (<a href="http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/27/ftc-and-whois">http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/27/ftc-and-whois</a>) which looks at the FTC's comments on WHOIS more closely in the light of our recommendations and findings.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, I received these comments today from Nick Wood of Com Laude/Valideus:<br>
<br>
--------------<br>
<br>
I have just had the time to sit and read your report - and I found it to be full of wise, sensible and practical recommendations. Please pass on my congratulations to your colleagues.<br>
<br>
I support your alternative suggestion for Public comment in 17: a doorway to complete gTLD whois information managed by ICANN in the public interest is something that ICANN should have done 10 years ago!<br>
<br>
I will be co-ordinating some comments from MARQUES<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all on the Review Team, and the ICANN staff who have supported our work so ably over the past year, a very happy and prosperous New Year!<br>
