Re: [bc-gnso] RWHOIS Studies Reports & DSSA-WG - 24th Feb - certain other issues on which members may want to provide feedback

[Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agree, Zahid.  WHOIS studies are essential for fact-based policy development.

Also, w/r/t the Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal study:
Staff received no responses to its request-for-proposal.
Staff is suggesting they can do internal research and a survey to determine 
possible vendors we can ask.
I like Staff's plan, but I hope they can do it for less than the $80K they 
suggest.

Item 6: WHOIS studies (20 minutes)
A new WHOIS studies report has been posted
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-pp-relay-reveal-studies-report-11feb11-en.pdf.
This includes the staff analysis on the last of the 4 WHOIS studies that the 
Council asked staff to scope for cost and feasibility (this is the study on 
"Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal").
The Council must now decide which of the remaining 3 studies (Registrant 
Identification, Proxy and Privacy "abuse" and this Relay and Reveal study) 
staff should initiate.
(see http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-studies-chart-11feb11-en.pdf)
6.1 Update on WHOIS studies (Liz Gasster)

I suggest we lobby for all 3 and not cherry-picking only one Report for 
initiation
