*ISPCP comment to the ATRT2 team*

The ISPCP would like to follow up the comments made during the GNSO session
in Durban with the ATRT2 team with a written statement, as requested. ****

** **

It is the view of the ISPCP that the recommendations made by the WHOIS
Review Team have yet to be effectively implemented. ****

** **

Members of the ISPCP Constituency along with many others in the GNSO worked
for many years to try and reach an agreed solution to many of the
controversial issues surrounding WHOIS. For a variety of reasons progress
within those groups was minimal. The WHOIS Review team that was formed
under ATRT1 successfully managed to achieve agreement on a significant
number of points and against that long and difficult background, failure to
effectively implement the recommendations made by the WHOIS Review Team was
particularly notable.****

** **

Whilst the ISPCP fully recognises and supports the recent activities on the
Next Generation gTLD Directory Services model, that should not have
resulted in a reluctance by the Board to implement a set of recommendations
that would significantly improve the current situation. There appears to be
no other reason why a delay in implementing those recommendations should be
considered acceptable.****
