RE: [gnso-whois-wg] Draft outcomes report v 1.6

["Suzanne Sene" <ssene@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

although i am not speaking formally on behalf of the gac, i would like
to weigh in as one gac member regarding the gac's recommendation that a
study be conducted -- the ssac study would not represent a full response
to the gac's request, as it only addresses one aspect of the request. 
thanks, suz.

There is no need for further study as proposed in the following:

"I would also call attention to the GAC proposal for a study  to
"gather
information on gTLD registrations and registrants and how Whois data
is
used and misused."  This should also be listed as a topic for further
study in Section 8."

The study is now available at:
