Thread-topic: Whois service requirement
Dear Council Members,

As recently noted, the Whois service requirements report from July of 2010 has
been tentatively added to the GNSO public meeting agenda. I have prepared the
following note to provide some background for the discussion.

The service requirements report is the result of a Council resolution in May
2009. It requested staff to compile a comprehensive set of requirements for
WHOIS that includes: 1) known deficiencies in the current service and, 2) any
possible requirements that may be needed to support various policy initiatives
that have been suggested in the past. In compiling this report, staff has
attempted to distil from current requirements and policy discussions the
technical requirements that would be necessary to implement to correct
deficiencies and implement various policy proposals.

The report is a technical inventory and does not intend to define or suggest
the policies or operational rules that should apply. As requested by the GNSO
in its resolution of May, 2009, staff shared the initial draft with the GNSO
Council and with the other SOs (ccNSO, ASO) and ACs (SSAC, ALAC and GAC) for
their input.

The Final Report is available at:

Staff have conducted outreach webinars and workshops of this report, and the
presentations can be found here:

I am happy to answer questions on the list or in San Francisco.

warm regards,
