I think I can probably help with the processes. I can tell you there are a range of opinions on WHOIS within the ALAC, the predictable split being between those who take a strong privacy stance (and generally tend to be of the opinion that no more studies are needed), and those who would like to see, at minimum, more accurate WHOIS data in the cause of providing consumers some means of accountability and redress when doing business. You can probably guess that I tend to be of the enforcement/accuracy/accountability/anti-fraud camp. And WHOIS is one of the ICANN issues I'm most interested in -- being a relative newcomer I am not burned out on it yet.

I would be happy to help in any way I can. ALAC made a rather watery statement about WHOIS a couple of months ago that I voted against. From what I understand, a fairly generous portion of the ALAC would like to see the issue move forward and would be willing to make another statement.

Thanks, Bill for this great report and set of action items.

Can we agree on how to proceed?

a.  Rank all studies Low Priority, or No Study Needed?  Differentiate and maybe identify one or two as potentially desirable, to show willingness to compromise?

Perfect.


 1.  Reach out to RC and ALAC, or don't bother and just do our bit?

If you have time, definitely reach out to RrC; ALAC will be more difficult because they have “processes” to follow, but maybe our new ALAC liaison could help us out here.

Who would like to do the coordination and physical inputting of responses?

Due to my need to travel on the early morning (European time) of the 18th, I cannot volunteer to do this. I would otherwise. Robin?
