FYI

Please join if you can.  I shall be on a Eurostar train, and so will
disappear for about 20 minutes during the journey.  So, if any of you can
make it (I know it's an early hour for our US colleagues), that would be
great.

Kind regards

Emily

*Item 8: Outreach Task Force Charter (20 minutes)*****

As part of the GNSO improvements, the Operations Steering Committee (OSC)'s
Constituency and Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team worked on a set of
recommendations on a global outreach program****

The Council has considered motions on this recently been no agreement has
been found. As the original request came from the ICANN Board, the Council
leadership feels an answer should be provided. That answer may be not to
approve, to approve, or to determine that the Council as a body does not
want to voice an opinion, although specific GNSO SGs and Cs are obviously
still free to.****

The Council ledareship suggests that is that this topic be discussed at the
GNSO week-end sessions in the forthcoming ICANN International Meeting in
March 2012. To set the scene for these discussions, this agenda item is to
provide some historical context into this topic.****

*Item 9: Whois Accessibility (20 minutes)*

** **

The GNSO Council resolved at its meeting on 6 October to request the Whois
Survey Drafting Team to consider including the issue of WHOIS Access as
recommended by the RAP WG as part of the survey it has been tasked to
develop. The Whois Survey Drafting Team provided its response to the GNSO
Council on 10 January (see
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg12559.html) noting
that 'the WSWG determined inclusion of the RAPWG’s recommendation aligned
more with policy and thus the WSWG considered it to be out of scope'. In
addition, the WSWG provided the GNSO Council in its response with
additional information 'so that it may make a better informed decision
about the access recommendation'.****

My goodness! What a coincidence. I was on the point of writing to you to
suggest a briefing with Council.

I would be very happy to join a call and perhaps if you let me know the
timings I can throw the invitation open to other members of the Whois
Review Team, in case they are also able to make the call.

Kind regards and best wishes for the New Year

Emily

has a clearer idea of what potential policy development might be in the
wings?
