WHOIS Technical Requirements Survey Webinar
23 May 2012

In order to participate, please RSVP via email to the GNSO Secretariat
(gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) to 
receive the call details.

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council's WHOIS Survey Working 
Group (WSWG) requests community input on a draft WHOIS Technical Requirements 
Survey, to assess the content of the survey before releasing it for public 
solicitation.  In parallel with the Public Comment period, the Working Group is 
hosting two webinar sessions to brief the community on the background of this 
effort and to solicit input from experts on technical requirements for a new 
WHOIS protocol, in particular people knowledgeable about technical aspects of 
WHOIS who can help assess if the survey asks the right questions and in the 
right style to elicit useful and clear technical feedback.  The Working Group 
seeks specific suggestions on changes to language and questions that will make 
it clearer for experts to complete.

Members of the Working Group will provide a briefing on Friday 1 June at 13.00 
UTC and Friday 1 June at 20.00 UTC, summarizing the purpose of this effort and 
reviewing the work called for in the Working Group's charter.

The webinars will also review the sections of the survey as they relate to the 
proposed technical requirements outlined in the GNSO WHOIS Service Requirement 
Report - 
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/whois-service-requirements-final-report-29jul10-en.pdf
 that was prepared by Staff at the GNSO Council's request in July 2010.

The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. 
Each session, scheduled to run for 60 minutes, will be conducted in English 
only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along 
with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the 
session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be submitted using the 
chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able to participate in either of 
the live sessions, the recording of the session will be made available shortly 
after the meeting. The policy staff is always available to answer any questions 
that you email to policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:policy-staff@xxxxxxxxx>.
