[registrars] Representatives required for 3 WHOIS task forces

[Elana Broitman]

Thanks Bruce.  I would request that we have an abbreviated nomination and election process in order to fit into the 14-day time frame.  This is a priority for registrars, so I hope we can get a range of registrars immediately.
 
Unless we hear otherwise, nomination period should begin immediately, allowing about 7 days for nominations, with voting to begin a week from Friday.
 
Thanks, Elana

	Hello All, 

	The GNSO approved the formation of 3 task forces in the area of WHOIS. 

	(1) Data mining 
	(2) Data elements collected and displayed 
	(3) Accuracy 

	See: http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/index.shtml 
	For terms of reference. 

	From ICANN by-laws: 

	"Any constituency wishing to appoint a Representative to the task force 
	must submit the name of the constituency designee to the Staff Manager 
	within ten (10) calendar days after such request in order to be included 
	on the task force. Such designee need not be a member of the Council, 
	but must be an individual who has an interest, and ideally knowledge and 
	expertise, in the area to be developed, coupled with the ability to 
	devote a substantial amount of time to task force activities." 

	Thus we need one representative from the constituency per task force. 

	Regards, 
	Bruce Tonkin
