This item has been processed as much as is relevant and is considered complete; no work is outstanding from the perspective of Board Advice (note that related implementation work may have been integrated into ICANN’s ongoing operations or other initiatives).

Status provided in 19 October 2016 letter from ICANN Board Chair to SSAC Chair (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-to-faltstrom-19oct16-en.pdf). This statement was considered as part of a public comment period: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/whois-rt-finalreport-2012-05-11-en.

In November 2012, the Board provided a resolution on the WHOIS Policy Review Team Report recommendations: https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/prelimreport-2012-11-08-en#1.a. Implementation work on WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) is underway and general information about the implementation efforts can be found here: https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars. The expert working group is evaluating accuracy policies and a policy development process (PDP) on registration data policy by the GNSO will follow the EWG's work. The policy recommendations arising from the GNSO's work will then be sent to the Board for consideration.
