> Dear All,
> I am pleased to inform you that ICANN has published a Paper describing the Preliminary Findings from a Pilot Study on WHOIS accuracy conducted by National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago.   
> The purpose of the Paper is to demonstrate how ICANN’s WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) is being designed, the topic of which will be discussed during the All Things WHOIS Session on Monday.  The ARS, when fully developed, will produce periodic accuracy reports to enable interested parties to track whether policy changes or changing contract terms produce measurable improvements in accuracy.  For more information, please see the related Announcement.
> If your SO/AC would like a briefing on the Pilot Study while in Los Angeles meeting, please let me know and I will be happy to arrange one for you with NORC’s lead statistician. Alternatively, if your SO/AC would like a briefing following the Los Angeles meeting, I would also be happy to arrange one with your group.
> Sincerely,
> Margie Milam
