meeting on 7 June 2012, by Yoav Keren on request of the Registrar

Whereas, following the recommendation of the Registration Abuse Policies 
Working Group, the GNSO Council requested a discussion paper on the

address the abusive registrations of domain names in accordance with the 
Registration Abuse Policies Working Group Final Report;
Whereas, ICANN Staff submitted the discussion paper to the GNSO Council 
on 28 September 2011 (see
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/discussion-paper-rap-best-practices-28sep11-en.pdf);

Whereas the GNSO Council discussed the discussion paper at its working 
session at the ICANN meeting in Dakar and a public workshop was organized;
Whereas the GNSO Council identified the issue as a priority topic at its 
wrap up session at the ICANN meeting in Dakar;
Whereas, the discussion paper recommended the creation of two Working 
Groups, namely one GNSO Working Group to establish the framework for 
best practices and one Cross-Community Technical Group to propose 
candidate best practices to address the abusive registration of domain 
names.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

Resolved, that the GNSO Council hereby approves the formation of a GNSO 
drafting team which will be responsible for developing the Charters for 
the two Working Groups to address the creation of non-binding best 
practices to help registrars and registries address the Abusive 
Registrations of Domain Names as identified above;

2*Motion to Address Whois Access as Recommended by the Registration

Made by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben*

*Seconded by: John Berard
*

Whereas the Registration Abuse Policies (RAP) Working Group submitted 
its report to the GNSO Council on 29 May 2010 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/rap-wg-final-report-29may10-en.pdf);
Whereas the GNSO Council reviewed the report and its recommendations and 
formed an Implementation Drafting Team to draft a proposed approach with 
regard to the recommendations contained in the Registration Abuse 
Policies Working Group Final Report;
Whereas the Registration Abuse Policies Implementation Drafting Team 
submitted its proposed response to the GNSO Council on 15 November 2010 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/rap-idt-to-gnso-council-15nov10-en.pdf);
Whereas on 3 February 2011 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201102) the GNSO Council 
requested feedback from ICANN Compliance in relation to WHOIS Access 
recommendation #2 and a response was received on 23 February 2011 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg10766.html). 
In addition, a discussion with Compliance Staff was held at the ICANN 
meeting in San Francisco.
Whereas the GNSO Council thanked the ICANN Compliance Department for its 
feedback in relation to WHOIS Access recommendation #2 and determined 
that no further work on this recommendation was needed. The GNSO Council 
welcomed the commitment of the ICANN Compliance Department 'to report on 
compliance activities and publish data about WHOIS accessibility, on at 
least an annual basis' 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg10766.html).
Whereas in response to WHOIS Access recommendation #1, the GNSO Council 
asked the WHOIS Survey Working Group to consider including the issue of 
WHOIS Access as part of the survey it has been tasked to develop, and 
the Working Group informed the GNSO Council on 11 January that 'the 
issue does not fall within the remit of its current charter and 
recommends that the item not be included in their upcoming survey'.
Whereas the GNSO Council recognizes that the issue of WHOIS access is 
also covered in the Final Issue Report on the RAA 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/issues/raa/fInal-issue-report-raa-06mar12-en.pdf).
THEREFORE BE IT,

Resolved, the GNSO Council recommends that the issue of WHOIS access (to 
ensure that WHOIS data is accessible in an appropriately reliable, 
enforceable, and consistent fashion) is included in the RAA Policy 
Development Process when it commences.
Resolved, the GNSO Council will review by end of September, 2012, 
whether the RAA PDP has commenced and included this issue or whether 
alternative approaches should be pursued.
