[Carolyn Hoover <choover@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great!  My first WG and a good experience.  It was very helpful to see how all 
the participants worked together to come to a consensus position.

I hope I can contribute more going forward in other WGs.

Regards,

Carolyn

            c.  GNSO Thick Whois Policy Development Process Recommendations

Whereas, on 14 March 2012, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development 
Process (PDP) on the use of 'thick' Whois by all gTLD Registries, both existing 
and future (see PDP WG Charter, set forth at 
https://community.icann.org/x/vIg3Ag).

Whereas the PDP followed the prescribed PDP procedures as stated in the Bylaws 
and due process resulting in a Final Report delivered on 21 October 2013.

Whereas the Thick Whois PDP Working Group (WG) reached full consensus on the 
recommendations in relation to the issues outlined in the Charter.

Whereas the GNSO Council reviewed and discussed the recommendations of the 
Thick Whois PDP WG, and adopted the Recommendations on 31 October 2013 by a 
Supermajority and unanimous vote 
(seehttp://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20131031-1).

Whereas the GNSO Council vote exceeded the required voting threshold set forth 
in the ICANN Bylaws to impose new Consensus Policies on ICANN contracted 
parties.

Whereas the GNSO Council resolved to 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.

Whereas after the GNSO Council vote, a public comment period was held on the 
approved recommendations, and the comments received strongly supported the 
recommendations 
(http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/thick-whois-recommendations-06nov13-en.htm).

Resolved (2014.02.07.08), the Board adopts the GNSO Council Policy 
Recommendations for a new Consensus Policy on Thick Whois as set forth in 
section 7.1 of the Final Report (see 
http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf [PDF, 1.23 
MB]).

Resolved (2014.02.07.09), the Board directs the President and CEO to develop 
and execute on an implementation plan for the Thick Whois Policy consistent 
with the guidance provided by the GNSO Council. The President and CEO is 
authorized and directed to work with the Implementation Review Team in 
developing the implementation details for the policy, and to continue 
communication with the community on such work.
