RE: [ga] FYI: Council adopts Transfers and WHOIS

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP" <mcade@att.com>]

One point of clarification is needed to the summary below. The WHOIS Task Force
is preparing an issues report on privacy. The intent is to have a Council on 
privacy at Rio as part of the agenda. The Council will then determine how 
to create a policy development process. There was broad support by the TF
members, and by the Council to addressing privacy.

Subject: [ga] FYI: Council adopts Transfers and WHOIS


The GNSO Council adopted both the Transfers and WHOIS Task Force
reports.  WHOIS was adopted with the votes of the gTLD registries,
but against the votes of the non-commercial users' constituency,
after it had been clarified which of the Task Force's
recommendations are consensus policies and which are just general
recommendations (and *not* binding).

I also understand that the agenda for the Council's next meeting now
includes the initiation of a policy-development process on WHOIS
privacy, for which an issues paper will have to be prepared --
either by the Task Force, or by some other body.

Regards,
