Recommendations<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf>

WHEREAS

1. On 14 March 2012, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development Process 
(PDP) on Thick Whois to make recommendations to the GNSO Council regarding the 
use of thick Whois by all gTLD registries, both existing and future.

2. This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, 
resulting in a Final Report delivered on 21 October 2013;

3. The Thick Whois PDP WG has reached full consensus on the recommendations 
contained in the report in relation to Thick Whois;

4. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations.

Now therefore be it resolved,

1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption of 
Thick Whois recommendations as detailed in section 7.1 of the Final Report

http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf
2. The GNSO Council shall convene a Thick Whois Implementation Review Team to 
assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new policy 
should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team will 
be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy 
recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN 
Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation fulfills the intentions of 
the approved policy recommendations. If the Implementation Review Team 
identifies any potential modifications to the policy recommendations or need 
for new policy recommendations, the Implementation Review Team shall refer 
these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. 
Following adoption by the ICANN Board of the recommendations, the GNSO 
Secretariat is authorized to issue a call for volunteers for a Thick Whois 
Implementation Review Team to the members of the Thick Whois Working Group.


        2. Revised Charter for the Standing Committee on GNSO Improvements 
Implementation

WHEREAS

1. On 28 April 2011 the GNSO Council approved the charter for the Standing 
Committee on GNSO Improvements Implementation (SCI);

2. In 2013 the SCI determined that the Charter as originally approved no longer 
reflected the current role of the SCI as a standing committee, and furthermore 
did not contain procedures for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the SCI;

3. The SCI requested guidance from the GNSO Council as to how to proceed with 
revisions to the Charter that would address its concerns;

4. At its meeting on 05 September 2013 the GNSO Council endorsed the SCI as a 
standing committee and further requested that the SCI proceed to revise the 
Charter as it may deem necessary, with the exception of the section on Decision 
Making;

5. The SCI has since revised the Charter to reflect its role as a standing 
committee and to include procedures to select the Chair and Vice Chair; and

The GNSO Council has reviewed the revised Charter submitted by the SCI.

RESOLVED,

1. The GNSO Council thanks the SCI for its work to date; and

2. The GSNO Council approves the revised SCI Charter at [INSERT LINK] which 
will replace the previous charter effective immediately upon adoption of this 
motion
3. The GNSO Council appoints [confirm name] as the GNSO Council Liaison to the
