RE: [registrars] Representatives required for 3 WHOIS task forces

[Paul Stahura <stahura@xxxxxxxx>]

I would like to participate on the "data mining"  task force,
am I interested in this area and I believe I can contribute there.
We all want to reduce mining (from registrars and others too), while
at the same time maintain access to users (incl registrars) with legitimate
needs.
I assume we are able to self-nominate.

I would like to nominate Elana for the accuracy task force as 
she has been outspoken in the past regarding unfunded mandates,
which I would guess, though hope not, "accuracy" may lead to
(expensive front-loaded checking).  
I think she would well represent what I believe our collective point of view
is.

Paul

Thanks Bruce.  I would request that we have an abbreviated nomination and
election process in order to fit into the 14-day time frame.  This is a
priority for registrars, so I hope we can get a range of registrars
immediately.
 
Unless we hear otherwise, nomination period should begin immediately,
allowing about 7 days for nominations, with voting to begin a week from
Friday.
 
Thanks, Elana

	Hello All, 

	The GNSO approved the formation of 3 task forces in the area of
WHOIS. 

	(1) Data mining 
	(2) Data elements collected and displayed 
	(3) Accuracy 

	See: http://www.gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/index.shtml 
	For terms of reference. 

	From ICANN by-laws: 

	"Any constituency wishing to appoint a Representative to the task
force 
	must submit the name of the constituency designee to the Staff
Manager 
	within ten (10) calendar days after such request in order to be
included 
	on the task force. Such designee need not be a member of the
Council, 
	but must be an individual who has an interest, and ideally knowledge
and 
	expertise, in the area to be developed, coupled with the ability to 
	devote a substantial amount of time to task force activities." 

	Thus we need one representative from the constituency per task
force. 

	Regards, 
	Bruce Tonkin
