Please find the Whois task force 1 draft minutes from the teleconference
held on March 9, 2004.

Due to unforseen technical problems there is no MP3 recording. I am very
sorry.

If you would like anything changed, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

  <b>Jeff Neuman</b> referred to his <a href="http://www.icann.org/presentations/neuman-whois-rome-04mar04.pdf";>presentation</a> 
  at the Rome Whois workshop and reported that there had been good feedback. He 
  explained to about 100 participants present that few survey responses had been 
  received, urging people to respond and throwing out questions to the audience.<br>
  A number of registrar participants responded saying why they needed Whois information 
  but few indicated where they obtained the data from, not being quite sure whether 
  it was by port 43 or not. They raised a valid point that when one goes to a 
  website for information, one does not know what that provider uses to obtain 
  the Whois information.<br>
  <b>Jeff Neuman</b> suggested that the names of the providers be made known so 
  that the task force could enquire how the information was obtained.<br>
  </font></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jeff Neuman</font></b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 
  reminded the group that the preliminary report was due in one month, April 9, 
  and suggested more activity on the mailing list over the next weeks. The 10 
  survey responses received should be considered as feedback and summarized.<br>
  <b><br>
  Jeff Neuman</b> proposed that each participant on the call summarize several 
  responses (date only mentioned) and the Secretary would resend the survey archive 
  address which should not be published on a mailing list to respect confidentiality.<br>
