Board-Response-to-GAC-Prague-Communique_20121013.pdf

ICANN thanks the GAC for its input on the Whois Policy Review Team’s Report.

In addition to seeking the GAC’s input to help inform Board action on the Report and subsequent implementation activities, the Board posted the Report for public comment and specifically asked for input from all of the Supporting Organizations, as well as the ALAC and SSAC, by 31 August 2012 (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-23jun12-en.htm#5).

Further, the Board directed the President and CEO to consider this input, to assess the Report’s recommendations and other WHOIS-related proposals under discussion, to evaluate the feasibility of and the potential implementation paths for each recommendation, and to provide the Board with guidance and advice on the Report. This work is ongoing, and the Board plans to take action on the Report before 12 November 2012. In addition, ICANN and the registrars are considering some of the WHOIS Review Team recommendations (such as development of a proxy service accreditation model), during the RAA negotiation process.
