[council] Whois Privacy Proxy Reveal and Relay Study proposed resolution for February Agenda

[Barbara Roseman <barbara.roseman@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

As you may recall, at the ICANN Meeting in Toronto, Lyman Chapin presented
the results of the survey that evaluated the feasibility of conducting a
future in-depth study into communication Relay and identity Reveal requests
sent for gTLD domain names registered using Proxy and Privacy services (see
presentation attached). The Council may want to consider whether to go ahead
with this study. To this end, we've prepared the attached draft motion that
may help facilitate the discussions on this item. A proposed agenda item
could read as follows:

Item X ­ For discussion - Whois Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal Study
