3 December 2006 ICANN is launching a public comments period on the Procedure for Dealing with Potential Conflicts Between Whois Requirements and Privacy Laws. Recognising the public policy aspects of this procedure ICANN has written to the Chair of ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) seeking GAC advice concerning the draft procedure. Both the draft procedure http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/whois_national_laws_procedure.htm and the GAC http://www.icann.org/correspondence/L-GAC-re-Whois-03dec06.pdf letter are posted. The public comment period will last from 3 December 2006 to 15 January 2007. After the public comment period, ICANN staff intends revise as appropriate and implement the procedure. Comments can be sent to whois-laws-comments@xxxxxxxxx and viewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/whois-laws-comments/. The draft procedure was developed by ICANN staff following a GNSO policy recommendation (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/council-rpt-18jan06.htm) and the adoption by the ICANN Board of that recommendation (http://www.icann.org/minutes/minutes-10may06.htm) on 10 May 2006. -- Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat - ICANN gnso.secretariat[at]gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org |
