Hi,

I suppose what Ed says regarding delaying the At-Large review makes sense, although I can’t guess how helpful this review will actually be. The almost complete review of the GNSO leaves quite a bit to be desired as far as organisational reviews are concerned in ICANN.

I also wonder about the second WHOIS review. This is scheduled to begin in late 2015. Apart from the Privacy/Proxy Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) PDP and the WHOIS and national law conflicts Implementation Advisory Group (IAG) — both mentioned in the draft comment — there is also the next generation gTLD registration directory services (post EWG) PDP that is scheduled to start sometime in the next couple of months. Seems to me that the second WHOIS review would be of more benefit if it would take place before or after this PDP, which may drastically change the WHOIS. I would be grateful to hear the opinions of others, particularly those who were involved in the first WHOIS review team on this.

Either way…, thanks for drafting this, James. The public comment period on this closes on July 2nd. The NCSG policy committee could perhaps begin considering this for submission, and keep track of changes made to the current draft.

Thanks again.

Amr

I'm fine with holding off on the other reviews but ALAC is such a big part of whatever post transition regime we settle on I think it's best to help them make whatever reforms that are deemed necessary sooner rather than later.
