NOTES

1. Agenda adopted

2. Preliminary Report adopted

3. Recommendations

(SL): should be standards to simplify WHOIS look-up/find WHOIS data, WHOIS check costs should be borne by the registrants and be realistic (price of domain name should go up)- apply offline principles to online business

(PN): should be principles which apply to online world + more active/effective compliance by ICANN - privacy/proxy issues

(ET): applying offline principles, getting more currency, new medium - principles that translate very well from online world - 1. develop a state of policy which balances needs of stakeholders 2. ensure that policy and implementation take account of privacy/proxy services appropriately 3. in place of annual registry, work with registrars to develop metrics for WHOIS accuracy implementation - improvement of implementation

(KK): ICANN WHOIS policy should be clear unambigious and posted for review. icann should put together a list of applicable laws - no single person/place responsible for speaking/monitoring processes in place. helpful for community outside to know.

a) The Whois Policy of ICANN should be clear, unambiguous, and posted for all to review b) That ICANN put together a list of the "applicable laws" so there is a common sense and knowledge of them c) Currently ICANN seems to have no single person or place responsible for speaking and monitoring the multiple Whois processes -- and one person would make the process of monitoring and supporting the various Whois processes much easier and clearer for the ICANN communities and for communities outside of ICANN.
