[council] RE: [gnso-whois-study] Report of the Whois Study Hypothesis Group attached

[Gomes, Chuck]

Per an excellent suggestion from Avri, I made a few for edits to my
Whois Study Hypotheses motion originally submitted on 26 August and
amended earlier today.  The changes I made earlier today plus some I
made in response to Avri's suggestion are highlighted in the attached
file, and a clean version of the motion is contained in the motions
section of the wiki for our 4 September meeting at 
https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?04_sept_2008_motions.

	Note that I made some edits to the resolved portion of the
following motion to make sure that the reports are sent to the GAC and
ALAC for comment as well as to GNSO consitutencies.  The revised
resolution reads as follows now:
	 
	"Resolve: 

	 

	*	The GNSO Council expresses sincere appreciation and
thanks to the Whois Hypotheses WG 

	 

	*	Council representatives including liaisons are asked to
forward the report to their respective constituencies ASAP for
discussion and comment as applicable and be prepared on 25 September
2008 to develop a proposed list, if any, of recommended studies for
which ICANN staff will be asked to prepare cost estimates to the Council
in the Council meeting. 

	 

	*	ICANN Policy Staff are asked to forward the report ASAP
directly to the GAC and ALAC for comment before the 25 September Council
meeting if possible. "

	A second is still needed and amendments are welcome.
	 
	Chuck

		Thanks Liz.  I would like to submit the following motion
in this regard for our meeting on 4 September.
		 
		Chuck
		 
		Draft Motion re Whois Hypotheses

		 

		Whereas:

		 

		*        On 31 October 2007, the Generic Names
Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council concluded that a comprehensive,
objective and quantifiable understanding of key factual issues regarding
the gTLD WHOIS system will benefit future GNSO policy development
efforts (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/
<http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/>  )

		*        Before defining the details of these studies,
the Council solicited suggestions from the community for specific topics
of study on WHOIS that community stakeholders recommend be conducted 

		*        Suggestions for WHOIS studies were submitted (
http://forum.icann.org/lists/WHOIS-comments-2008/
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/WHOIS-comments-2008/>  )

		*	ICANN staff prepared the report titled 'Report
on Public Suggestions on Further Studies of WHOIS', dated 25 February
2008 (
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/whois-study-suggestion-report
-25feb08.pdf ) 
		*	On 28 March 2008 the GNSO Council resolved to
form a group of volunteers (Whois Study Group) to review and discuss the
'Report on Public Suggestions on Further Studies of WHOIS' and develop a
proposed list, if any, of recommended studies for which ICANN staff will
be asked to provide cost estimates to the Council (
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-27mar08.shtml ) 
		*	There was not agreement in the Whois Studies
volunteer group regarding whether or not any studies should be
conducted, on 25 June 2008 the GNSO Council resolved to form another
group of volunteers (Whois Hypotheses WG) to review the study
recommendations offered through the public comment period and by the GAC
and prepare a concise list of hypotheses to be tested, derived from the
study recommendations and suggested benefits and to deliver a report
containing the above with any supporting rationale to the Council () 
		*	The Whois Hypotheses WG delivered its report to
the Council on 27 August 2008 (insert link).

		Resolve:

		*	The GNSO Council expresses sincere appreciation
and thanks to the Whois Hypotheses WG 

		*	Council representatives are asked to forward the
report to their respective constituencies ASAP for discussion and
comment as applicable and be prepared to develop a proposed list, if
any, of recommended studies for which ICANN staff will be asked to
prepare cost estimates to the Council in the Council meeting on 25
September 2008.
