[council] Whois motion

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would prefer to have some additional information before voting on more
studies: 

1. An update on the current study already in progress, with estimated
completion date and then next steps on that for Staff and Council.

2. Information or report from Staff on resources required for the above
over the rest of the fiscal year, and Staff resources that are available
to follow through on additional studies the rest of this fiscal year.

3. Information or report from ICANN's CFO or other appropriate Staff on
money still available for further studies this fiscal year.

The above information will help us make responsible decisions about how
best to use the resources that are made available to us. If a motion is
required to do this, then I so move:

Whereas the GNSO Council must make decisions on which pending Whois
Studies are yet to be pursued (link to appropriate Staff reports on cost
and feasibility studies); and

Whereas the GNSO Council wishes to make fiscally responsible decisions;
therefore be it

Resolved that the GNSO Council asks Staff to provide as soon as
reasonably possible:

1. An update on the current Whois Study already in progress, with
estimated completion date and then next steps on that for Staff and
Council.

2. Information or report on resources required for the above over the
rest of the fiscal year, and Staff resources that are available to
follow through on additional studies the rest of this fiscal year.

3. Information or report from ICANN's CFO or other appropriate Staff on
money still available for further studies this fiscal year.
