<div>> what ICANN's existing policy on Whois billing contact data is</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Seems to me that the current policy is that it's not required for
Whois. There is nothing in our RRA about a Billing Contact for
Whois and there are no concensus policies that change that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Section 3.4.1 of our RRA does require the name of the Billing
Contact for data retention purposes only.</div>

g Organisation<BR>> <BR>> Dear Bruce<BR>> <BR>> It would appear
that speculation continues among some members of the<BR>> community as to
the meaning of the WHOIS clause in the Affirmation of<BR>> Responsibilities
Resolution passed by the Board last week.<BR>> <BR>> I thought it would
be useful for me to write to you to make clear my<BR>> understanding, and my
understanding of the Board, on this.<BR>> <BR>> There is nothing in the
WHOIS clause in the Resolution which prohibits<BR>> any proper and complete
development of new policy in accordance with<BR>> ICANN's bylaws. The
text in the Affirmation of Responsibilities is a<BR>> statement of policy as
it presently stands - not a statement of what is<BR>> immutable or what we
can't do.<BR>> <BR>> This clause in the Affirmation of Responsibilities
Resolution is not,<BR>> and cannot be, counter to the ICANN bylaws,
including those which<BR>> outline ICANN's policy de!
velopment procedures.<BR>> <BR>> But if, and until, there is any
change to the WHOIS policy according to<BR>> these procedures, ICANN will
continue to enforce the existing WHOIS<BR>> policy like we would do any
other policy. Indeed resources are<BR>> earmarked in this year's
operational plan for such compliance work.<BR>> <BR>> On the topic of the
ongoing work on WHOIS, I would note that as part of<BR>> a broader WHOIS PDP
process other Supporting Organisations and Advisory<BR>> Committees will
have the opportunity to comment on any policy work if<BR>> and when it is
passed on by the Council. But this is like any other<BR>> policy
considered by the Board.<BR>> <BR>> I understand that the general thrust
of what I have written above has<BR>> already been communicated to the
Council by Denise Michel.<BR>> <BR>> I hope this will give some clarity
to members of the Council and the<BR>> GNSO constituencies.<BR>> <BR>>
I would appreciate it if you were to share this communication wi!
th the<BR>> Council members, the public WHOIS list, and constituencies you
consider<BR>> relevant.<BR>> <BR>> Kind regards,<BR>> <BR>>
Paul<BR>> <BR>> _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _<BR>> <BR>> Dr Paul
Twomey<BR>> President and CEO<BR>> ICANN<BR>> <BR>>
