[gnso-whoissurvey-dt] Scheduling a next call of the Whois Service Requirements Survey Drafting Team

[Liz Gasster <liz.gasster@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

We will be scheduling a next call of this group for the week of 18 July.  
Please look for a meeting invitation - with scheduling options - to be sent 
shortly.

Here is a draft agenda for the next call:


1.                   Discussion/confirmation of chair, vice chairs

2.                   Scope and remit of the drafting group, draft charter

3.                   Frequency of meetings, time zone accommodation

4.                   Target or objective for Dakar?

There is a wiki set up for this group.  It can be found here:  
https://community.icann.org/display/WSDT/Home.   Please let Glen know if you 
have trouble accessing the wiki space.

As a reminder, this group has met once by phone, on 7 June (the group did not 
meet during the Singapore ICANN meeting).  Here is a quick synopsis of key 
points:


1.       We confirmed the purpose of the Drafting Team:  To develop a survey to 
estimate the level of agreement that the conclusions and assumptions in the 
Inventory of Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010 have in the 
ICANN community. The goal of the Drafting Team would be to assist staff in 
developing the format, questions, response scale and scope of the survey and a 
plan to execute the survey.


2.       There were volunteers for DT Chair/Vice Chair:



*         Michael Young volunteered to act as Chair - are there any other 
volunteers?  If so please send an email ASAP to this list.  If there is more 
than one candidate for Chair, an election can be held.

*         Wilson Abigaba, Don Blumenthal and Werner Staub volunteered to act as 
vice chairs


3.       The group reviewed the context of the WHOIS inventory report and began 
an initial discussion of study mechanics and study questions.  Those who were 
not able to participate are encouraged to listen to the recording of the call 
(http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-whois-survey-dt-20110607-en.mp3) .  A link to 
the Final Report and other relevant documents has been posted on the group wiki.

Please let me know if you have suggested modifications to the draft agenda.

Best regards, Liz
