[council] REVISED motion to delay the 'thick' Whois Policy Development Process

[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,



Apologies, below is the correct  amended motion to delay the 'thick' Whois 
Policy Development Process that the Council voted on and which carried 
unanimously by voice vote.



Motion to delay the 'thick' Whois Policy Development Process



Whereas the GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on 'thick' Whois at its 
meeting on 22 September 2011 (see http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#201109);



Whereas a Preliminary Issue Report on 'thick' Whois was prepared by staff and 
posted on 21 November 2011 for public comment (see 
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-21nov11-en.htm);



Whereas a Final Issue Report on 'thick' Whois was published on 2 February 2012 
(see 
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf);



Whereas the Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a 
Policy Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in 
this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is 
properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of 
the GNSO;



Whereas the GNSO Council initiated a Policy Development Process at its meeting 
of 14 March 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#20120314-1);



Whereas at its wrap up session on 15 March, taking into account the current 
workload of the GNSO community, the GNSO Council voiced support for a delay in 
the start of the PDP until both ICANN staff and GNSO resources are available to 
deal with this.



THEREFORE BE IT:

Resolved, the next step (creating a drafting team to develop a charter) of the 
'thick' Whois PDP will be delayed until the first GNSO Council meeting after 30 
November 2012.



A recording of the meeting is available at:

Apologies for the confusion.


Thank you.



Kind regards,



Glen
