[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
The url  to the Whois Charter has been corrected in the  following paragraphs

-       Whereas in July 2011, several of these volunteers drafted a proposed 
charter for a Whois Survey "Working Group", preferring the term "Working Group" 
to "Drafting Team" in this case; 
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/charter-wswg-06oct11-en.pdf

-       The GNSO Council further approves the proposed charter for the Whois 
Survey Working Group as defined here:
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/charter-wswg-06oct11-en.pdf
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Glen

1.    Motion to approve charter for Whois Survey Working Group (WS-WG)
Whereas there have been discussions for several years on the adequacy of the 
current set of Whois tools to provide the necessary functions to support 
existing and proposed Whois service policy requirements,
and there have been questions as to the adequacy of these tools for use in an 
IDN environment (see: joint SSAC Working Group on Internationalized 
Registration Data, 
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsossac/Internationalized+Registration+Data+Working+Group+-+Home
 ),
and there have been extensive discussions about the requirements of the Whois 
service with respect to Registry and registrar operations in the GNSO community 
(see: history of Whois policy activity: 
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/whois-services/ ),
and new architectures and tools have been developed and suggested by the 
technical community (see: development of IRIS RFC by the IETF: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4698 and initial IETF discussion of RESTful and 
current draft: 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/weirds/current/maillist.html and 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sheng-weirds-icann-rws-dnrd-00 );
Whereas on 07 May 2009, the GNSO Council resolved that Policy Staff, with the 
assistance of technical staff and GNSO Council members as required, should 
collect and organize a comprehensive set of requirements for the Whois service 
policy tools;
Whereas on 26 March 2010, Staff published a first draft of a Whois Service 
Requirements Inventory report, soliciting input from SOs and ACs;
Whereas on 31 May 2010, Staff posted a draft final report which reflected SO 
and AC input, soliciting input from the GNSO Council and community at the 
Brussels ICANN Public Meeting;
Whereas on 29 July 2010, Staff published the Inventory of Whois Service 
Requirements - Final Report;
Whereas on 19 May 2011, the GNSO Council asked Staff to issue a call for 
expertise seeking community volunteers to form a Whois Survey drafting team for 
the purpose of developing a survey of views regarding Whois Service 
Requirements;
Whereas in July 2011, several of these volunteers drafted a proposed charter 
for a Whois Survey "Working Group", preferring the term "Working Group" to 
"Drafting Team" in this case; 
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/charter-wswg-06oct11-en.pdf
Resolved,
The GNSO Council convenes a Whois Survey Working Group (WS-WG) of interested 
volunteers to draft, implement, and analyze the results of a survey measuring 
the level of support for various technical requirements outlined in the final 
Inventory of Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010.
The GNSO Council further approves the proposed charter for the Whois Survey 
Working Group as defined here:
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/charter-wswg-06oct11-en.pdf
In accordance with this charter, the Whois Survey Working Group plans to 
produce a draft survey to be delivered to the GNSO Council for approval by 
March 2012. Following approval, the Whois Survey Working Group plans to then 
conduct this survey for a period not less than thirty (30) days, delivering a 
draft report describing survey results and recommendations for next steps to 
the GNSO Council by October 2012.
