["Metalitz, Steven" <met@xxxxxxx>]

Don, I would like to propose one such question, which I first posed about two 
months ago ( see 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg/msg00049.html ).  It 
involves the PIR Appendix U report on the transition from thin to thick Whois 
in .org.  

Part 3 of the report (page 30) consists of a table on "Centralized Whois 
Complaints," and indicates that few such complaints were received during 2003 
(the period during which the transition to thick Whois for .org took place).  
According to the table, only six of such complaints received by PIR during the 
year were "relating to privacy issues."  Is any detail available on these 
complaints, or do the experts have any recollections regarding them?   
Furthermore, this part of the report (and see also 
http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries/org/registry-agmt-appu-23oct02-en.htm
 ,
 which specifies what this report is to contain) was apparently supposed to be 
submitted annually ("no later than one month after each anniversary date after 
the Commencement-of-Service date").  I have not been able to locate on the 
ICANN site any such reports submitted later than June 2004.  Does anyone know 
if this was done and if so where the reports can be found?     (I understand 
that Appendix U was eliminated in the revised .org registry agreement that went 
into force in 2006, so this question targets the 2004-06 period.)    

Sorry to have missed today's call but it was unavoidable.

We also should start thinking about questions for the experts group. To anyone 
on yesterday's call, was anything decided after I left on a mechanism for 
getting answers?
