Thanks for pulling this together Liz.

All, the attaced redline includes my suggested revisions. I think they

All,

You may recall that in Cairo the Council decided that it would be
helpful to develop “working definitions” of several terms that are
being used in the context of Council discussions of possible future
studies of WHOIS.  At the meeting, Council members identified eight
terms and asked staff to develop initial working definitions that the
Council could use as a starting point for further discussion and
definition. In order to respond to the Council’s request, staff
solicited definitions for these terms from GNSO Council members and
community stakeholders.  We also researched and reviewed ICANN meeting
transcripts, policy and compliance documents and constituency position
statements, as well as other reference papers.   The attached is a
compilation of that research, intended to respond to the Council’s
request.  The attached is an initial first draft – it does not
represent the viewpoints or positions of ICANN or ICANN staff and is for
community discussion purposes only.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like further
information.  I will also be uploading a copy of this draft to the
Council workspace under “Whois references” --

Thanks, Liz
