RE: [gnso-whois-study] WHOIS study group call Tuesday 8 April 2008 at 15:00 UTC]
Liz, Can you please confirm that the group will be having a call conference next Tuesday (April 15) at 15:00 UTC (which is 17:00 French time by my calculations)? If so, can you point out how to connect to the meeting?

This accuracy compliance activity is being undertaken by ICANN services/compliance staff, and it is not being done for policy "benefit". Staff may be using some outside resources -- I don't know the answer to that -- but it is an ICANN effort, not an independent one. It was included in my September summary because it is a WHOIS study that is underway, and it may yield data that is useful to the Council as well as for other purposes. There were some suggestions in the recent comment period to study WHOIS accuracy, so these suggestions are included in the suggestion summary that Lorrie and I prepared. I agree that it makes little sense to do separate/additional studies on the same thing. It is good to note this, as has been done in previous Council discussions on the topic. If folks view WHOIS accuracy as a high-priority topic, then I suggest that we could invite Stacy to brief us and learn more about the current status of ICANN's accuracy study, and then explore whether that needs to be augmented in some way to meet our needs. Thanks, Liz -----Original Message----- From: Danny Younger [mailto:dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 12:33 PM To: Liz Gasster; Stéphane Van Gelder; 'GNSO.SECRETARIAT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; gnso-whois-study@xxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [gnso-whois-study] WHOIS study group call Tuesday 8 April 2008 at 15:00 UTC] Liz, At issue is who will be conducting what studies? If ICANN Staff has committed itself to a study on the accuracy of the WHOIS directory by way of a person soon to be hired, then this is somewhat different than a study conducted by an independent third party for the benefit of the GNSO and/or GAC. Are we to have two different studies by two different parties on the same topic? If we agree that one party or more parties should be conducting an accuracy study, then that narrows the field of remaining possible studies once the exact remit for the first study is understood. Can you make it very clear for us exactly what the Contractual Compliance Manager intends to study? Thanks, Danny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
