The GAC notes that there are a wide range of WHOIS-related issues that have significant workload implications for both the GAC and the wider community. This includes:

  • Accuracy: Findings and Methodology from the Pilot Accuracy Report.
  • Conflicts with National Privacy Laws.
  • Privacy/Proxy Accreditation issues.
  • Implementation of Thick WHOIS.
  • GNSO PDP Working Group on Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information
  • Implementation of 2013 RAA requirements and the new gTLD Program.
  • Next steps for gTLD Directory Services Expert Working Group Report.

The GAC requests a Road Map that identifies linkages and timelines between and among the above issues, in order to enable the GAC to collaborate with other parties to prioritize such work and rationalize timelines and deadlines.
