Hi Karen

Thanks for circulating.

For completeness, the WHOIS Review Team operated with a Chair and
Vice-Chairs.  Small groups worked on individual topics and didn't have
individual chairs appointed, but were effective in producing advice to the
Review Team as a whole, and in producing draft content.

Kind regards

Emily
