[tech-whois] Details of Wed's session on Whois

[Steve Sheng]

Dear tech-whois group,

  Welcome again to San Francisco ICANN meeting, below please find some details of our session.

 Our session has been moved to 1600-1730 at Elizabethan D on Wed (start half an hour earlier). Note this is a smaller room that can only hold about 40 people. If space is an issue, we will give priority to those on the mailing list. The remote participation link is: http://icann.adobeconnect.com/sfo40-elizabethan-d

  Andy Newton from ARIN will present RESTFul Whois service deployed at ARIN first. We will then go directly into a discussion about requirements.

 To make best use of our discussion, we encourage you think think about possible requirements ahead of time, and post to the mailing list if you could.

  Staff also prepared an initial list of requirements from the Whois service requirement report for discussion. As a background, in May 2009 GNSO council requested staff to compile a comprehensive set of requirements for WHOIS that includes: 1) known deficiencies in the current service and, 2) any possible requirements that may be needed to support various policy initiatives that have been suggested in the past. In compiling this report, staff has attempted to distil from current requirements and policy discussions the technical requirements that would be necessary to implement to correct deficiencies and implement various policy proposals.  As requested by the GNSO, staff shared the initial draft with the GNSO Council and with the other SOs (ccNSO, ASO) and ACs (SSAC, ALAC and GAC) for their input. GNSO groups, ALAC, and SSAC have provided comments.

The Final Report is available at: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-service-requirements-final-report-29jul10-en.pdf

Staff have conducted outreach webinars and workshops of this report, and the presentations can be found here: http://brussels38.icann.org/meetings/brussels2010/presentation-draft-final-inventory-whois-reqs-23jun10-en.pdf.


Warm regards,
Steve
