[Rt4-whois] Final version - proof-read [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Nettlefold, Peter]

Hi Emily and all,

I am very impressed with the huge amount of work that has been done in the past week - it has made my head spin (and my inbox explode) trying to keep up!

This being our draft, there are obviously some areas we will be revisiting and continuing to discuss before we publish the final report, but I think this draft clearly lays out the issues we have been grappling with, as well as the solutions we have considered.  There are some things I might like to change if we had more time, but I expect we all feel like that, and my overall feeling is one of relief at passing this over to the community for comment!

Looking forward, and I apologise if I have missed this, but do we have a work plan/timeline to reach the final report? For example:


*       How long with our draft be out for public comment?

*       Will we be meeting in Costa Rica? Will this be to complete the final report?

*       When do we anticipate the final report being published?

Sorry for all the questions, and I'm sorry if I've missed this, but before Christmas I have several planning and travel approval processes to go through for next year, and WHOIS is an important part of that picture.

Cheers,

Peter

Looks great!  I have no revisions.

It will be interesting to see the response by the community.

Hi all

I attach a mark up showing my final edits to the Draft Report, which we will be publishing on Monday.

You can see my changes.  They are mainly correction of typos, adding a couple of footnote references, and making sure that we are using terms consistently.  I also split the report into three parts (Part I: Scope and definitions; Part II - WHOIS Policy and implementation and Part III - the extent to which WHOIS policy and its implementation are effective in meeting stakeholder needs).  I found that this made it easier to see how the pieces of the jigsaw fit together.

There are a couple of more substantive changes:

1. Recommendations - As agreed on the list, I have unhighlighted (ie confirmed) the best practices recommendations re proxies, and inserted the introductory text proposed by Susan and amended by me.
2. Recommendations - given the late controversy on whether the interface should be for all gTLDs or just thin ones, I have put in two alternatives for public comment, as proposed by Peter, and have added a sentence near the introductory text on proxies.
3. Recommendations - Lutz's add on consumer outreach I have added into the paragraph below where it was - I am unaware of any opposition to this addition, or even when it was made, so shout if you have objections.
4. Recommendations - A few days ago, given the discussion of the words "registrar-operated" in recommendation 10, I proposed their deletion.  I heard no opposition, and have deleted them.
5.The order of the chapter on implementation (which I wrote) I found annoying, and not sufficiently clear because it has suffered from being moved back and forth from the main report to the more detailed letter in the appendix.  I have therefore made a few changes there, which are marked up.  These should be uncontentious - the aim is to explain what's going on rather than introduce substantive changes.

Please give any final final edits to me and Alice/ circulated to the list by the end of the weekend.

Alice -- you will see that I've managed to muck up some of the formatting (in particular I could not get the title for PART III to appear on the same page as the next chapter heading, so gave up).  Please can you also update the table of contents.  On Monday, if no more comments have been made, please accept all the marked up changes, and publish the draft report.

I will also forward an outline of our proposed cover note/ request for comment.

Kind regards

Emily
