I propose an amendment to the motion:



Keep Expiration Date in the registry output.



I propose Registries follow a documented procedure for showing expiration

date since they are not authoritative instead of just hiding the field flat

out:



On expiration:

A) if Auto-renewed by Registry

   1) Hide Expiration date with the words "Pending Registrar Action".

   2) After 45 days, set expiration date to be a year from initial

Expiration Date.

B) if Explicitly renewed by Registrar

   1) Show new date  



Thanks,

Hello All,



For the purposes of ensuring that we can eventually converge on an

agreed version of a position paper on WHOIS, I second this motion from

Ross Rader so that the formal discussion period can commence as per our

bylaws.



I am of course open to suggestions from the constituency to improve the

motion or make changes to ensure its support.



I think it is important at this stage to get registrars agreement around

the core purpose of WHOIS in the context of ICANN's mission.



Regards,

Bruce Tonkin

Subject: [registrars] Ballot Request: Adopt as Constituency Position



Registrars;



Per Whois Task Force 123's Terms of Reference, we are 

required to adopt a position concerning the purpose of the 

Whois service and the purpose of the Registered Name Holder, 

Technical and Administrative contacts (see below for an 

excerpt of the terms of reference for the task force).



As a representative to this task force and with the input and 

assistance of the other representatives to this task force, I 

have prepared a policy position that I seek to have adopted 

by the constituency. This position statement is attached.



I therefore would like to make a motion as follows;



***MOTION

Whereas, the Registrar Constituency has considered a range of 

issues related to the intended and appropriate purpose of the 

gTLD Whois System, and;



Whereas, the Registrar Constituency has considered a range of 

issues related to the intended and appropriate purpose of the 

Registered Name Holder, Administrative and Technical Contacts, and;



Whereas, the Registrar Constituency seeks timely resolution 

of these matters in a consensus-based manner that takes into 

account the needs of all stakeholders including individual 

and corporate domain name registrants, the internetworking 

community and gTLD Registries and Registrars, therefore;



Be it resolved that the Registrar formally adopts the 

position statement entitled "The Purpose of the gTLD Whois 

System and Specific Contact Records" and require its task 

force representatives to advocate these positions within the 

Task Force and other ICANN fora as appropriate.

***ENDofMOTION



I have attached both Word and PDF versions of this document 

to this message. I will also be forwarding this draft 

document to the Task Force

  as a heads up concerning our deliberations.



If you have any questions, please let me know. Your support 

for this motion would be sincerely appreciated.



-ross





Excerpt from WhoisTF123 Terms of Reference;

(1) ...the purpose of the WHOIS service in the context of 

ICANN's mission and relevant core values, international and 

national laws protecting privacy of natural persons, 

international and national laws that relate specifically to 

the WHOIS service, and the changing nature of Registered Name Holders.



(2) ...the purpose of the Registered Name Holder, technical, 

and administrative contacts, in the context of the purpose of 

WHOIS, and the purpose for which the data was collected. Use 

the relevant definitions from Exhibit C of the Transfers Task 

force report as a starting point (from 

http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exhc-12feb03.htm):



"Contact: Contacts are individuals or entities associated 

with domain name records. Typically, third parties with 

specific inquiries or concerns will use contact records to 

determine who should act upon specific issues related to a 

domain name record. There are typically three of these 

contact types associated with a domain name record, the 

Administrative contact, the Billing contact and the Technical contact.



Contact, Administrative: The administrative contact is an 

individual, role or organization authorized to interact with 

the Registry or Registrar on behalf of the Domain Holder. The 

administrative contact should be able to answer non-technical 

questions about the domain name's registration and the Domain 

Holder. In all cases, the Administrative Contact is viewed as 

the authoritative point of contact for the domain name, 

second only to the Domain Holder.



Contact, Billing: The billing contact is the individual, role 

or organization designated to receive the invoice for domain 

name registration and re-registration fees.



Contact, Technical: The technical contact is the individual, 

role or organization that is responsible for the technical 

operations of the delegated zone. This contact likely 

maintains the domain name server(s) for the domain. The 

technical contact should be able to answer technical 

questions about the domain name, the delegated zone and work 

with technically oriented people in other zones to solve 

technical problems that affect the domain name and/or zone.



Domain Holder: The individual or organization that registers 

a specific domain name. This individual or organization holds 

the right to use that specific domain name for a specified 

period of time, provided certain conditions are met and the 

registration fees are paid. This person or organization is 

the "legal entity" bound by the terms of the relevant service 

agreement with the Registry operator for the TLD in question."
