A Working Group has been established by the .nz Oversight Committee to conduct the review. The Working Group seeks public input to assist in developing a revised draft policy, which will also be subject to public consultation. All aspects of the current policy are subject to this review and a consultation paper has been prepared. This paper provides some information and context for the current review of the Whois policy and raises three key areas for discussion. The paper also poses some specific questions on which comment is sought, as well as any general comments that people may have. The paper is available at: http://dnc.org.nz/content/whois_paper_1.html Public comment on this initial consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 1 November 2004.
