Thanks Liz,

If staff does not mind, I think it would be useful to prepare an update as you 
suggest so that Council can then consider whether to send it or not.

Councillors, do you support this approach?

        Stéphane and all,
         
        If I may add to Stéphane’s point about whether the Council wishes to 
make comments on the SAC 051 Recommendations as requested by the Board, I would 
note in particular the Board’s Resolved to: 
         
        Resolved (2011.10.28.27), the Board directs staff to produce, in 
consultation with the community, a roadmap for the coordination of the 
technical and policy discussions necessary to implement the recommendations 
outlined in SAC 051.
         
        The WHOIS Service Requirements Survey Working Group had a preliminary 
discussion about this at its working group meeting yesterday, noting the 
possibility that information from the survey could contribute to informing such 
a roadmap.  In addition, the joint SSAC-GNSO IRD Working Group has a draft 
Final Report currently out for public comment that is also relevant to 
Recommendation 2 of the SAC report, which states:
         
        The ICANN community should evaluate and adopt a replacement domain name 
registration data access protocol that supports the query and display of 
Internationalized DNRD as well as addressing the relevant recommendations in 
SAC 003, SAC 027 and SAC 033.
        
        
        At minimum, it might be advisable to provide an update to the Board on 
these pending GNSO Whois protocol-related activities to ensure that the roadmap 
and any subsequent related actions take into consideration the work of these 
groups. Staff would be happy to prepare a draft of update from the Council on 
these matters if you would like.
         
        Best regards, Liz

        Dear Chairs and Vice Chairs of the ICANN Supporting Organizations and 
Advisory Committees,
        
        Per the Board Resolution passed on 28 October 2011 at: 
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#5 and listed below, 
the Board directed staff to forward SAC051 “SSAC Report on WHOIS Terminology 
and Structure” to ICANN’s Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations for 
their advice, if any, with regards to implementing the SSAC recommendations.  
Please refer to SAC051 
at:http://www.icann.org/en/committees/security/sac051.pdf and, in particular, 
to the recommendations listed below.
        
        Please send your advice to me at julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx 
<x-msg://78/julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>  not later than 09 January 2011.  Please 
also let me know if you have any questions.
        
        Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.
        
        Best regards,
        
        Julie Hedlund
        Director, SSAC Support
        
        Recommendations from Security and Stability Advisory Committee Report 
on Whois Terminology & Structure (SAC051)
        Whereas, WHOIS service has been an important information service for 
the Internet community, and is part of all ICANN TLD contracts.
        
        Whereas, the shortcomings of the WHOIS protocol have been known for 
some time.
        
        Whereas, on 20 September 2011, ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory 
Committee (SSAC) published a report "SSAC Report on Domain Name WHOIS 
Terminology and Structure" (SAC 051), including specific recommendations aimed 
at clarity of terminology and structure with regard to discussions regarding 
WHOIS.
        
        Resolved (2011.10.28.26), the Board hereby acknowledges the receipt of 
SAC 051, and thanks SSAC and other contributors for their efforts in the 
creation of the report.
        
        Resolved (2011.10.28.27), the Board directs staff to produce, in 
consultation with the community, a roadmap for the coordination of the 
technical and policy discussions necessary to implement the recommendations 
outlined in SAC 051.
        
        Resolved (2011.10.28.28), the Board directs staff to forward SAC 051 to 
ICANN's Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations for their advice, if 
any, with regards to implementing the SSAC recommendations, and to forward SAC 
051 to the Whois Review Team
        
        SAC051 Recommendations:
        
        Recommendation 1: The ICANN community should adopt the terminology 
outlined in this report in documents and discussions, in particular:
        ·     Domain Name Registration Data (DNRD).  The data that domain name 
registrants provide when registering a domain name and that registrars or 
registries collects. 
        ·     Domain Name Registration Data Access Protocol (DNRD-AP). The 
components of a (standard) communications exchange—queries and responses—that 
specify the access to DNRD. 
        ·     Doman Name Registration Data Directory Service (DNRD-DS). The 
service(s) offered by domain name registries and registrars to implement the 
DNRD-AP and to provide access to DNRD-DSD.  
        Additional terminology includes “DNRDe,” “DNRD Policy,” “DNRD-DS 
Policy,” “Internationalized DNRD,” and “Localized DNRD.” The term “WHOIS” 
should only be used when referring to the protocol as currently specified in 
RFC 3912.
        
        Recommendation 2: The ICANN community should evaluate and adopt a 
replacement domain name registration data access protocol that supports the 
query and display of Internationalized DNRD as well as addressing the relevant 
recommendations in SAC 003, SAC 027 and SAC 033.
         
        Recommendation 3: The ICANN community should develop a uniform and 
standard framework for accessing DNRD that would provide mechanisms to define 
and implement a range of verification methods, credential services, and access 
control capabilities.
