GNSO Council Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data
Working Group Charter

 

15 Sep 09

 

Whereas:

*	There have been increasing community concerns that the current
WHOIS service is deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy
and reliability, as well as in other technical areas noted in recent
SSAC reports, such as accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact
information in an internationalized domain name (IDN) environment.
*	On 21 April 2009, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory
Committee (SSAC) published a report titled SAC037 "Display and usage of
Internationalized Registration Data" (SAC037) located at 
http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf
<http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf> .
*	On 26 June 2009 the ICANN Board approved a resolution requesting
that the GNSO and SSAC, in consultation with staff, convene an
Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD WG) comprised of
individuals with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to
study the feasibility and suitability of introducing display
specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration
Data.
*	In the 26 June resolution, the Board directs the
Internationalized Registration Data Working Group to solicit input from
interested constituencies including ccTLD operators and the ccNSO during
its discussions to ensure broad community input.
*	ICANN Staff in cooperation with members of the GNSO Council and
SSAC developed a draft charter for said working group as attached.

 

The GNSO Council:

*	Approves the IRD WG draft charter, and
*	Encourages GNSO constituencies, stakeholder groups and other
GNSO participants to identify possible participants of the IRD WG with
knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the
feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to
deal with the internationalization of Registration Data.
