The ALAC welcomes the Discussion Paper as a laudable step in the WHOIS Review Team’s goal to solicit structured feedback as guidance for your continued work from the community. Notwithstanding, we would have liked to see additional ones that seek to define the problems attending current WHOIS definition, utilization and compliance that are properly before the Review Team for exploration and advice to the Board and Communityglobal ICANN community. We also heartily endorse the series of community-specific conversations that the Review Team hosted during the ICANN 41st International Meeting at Singapore, at which time members of the ALAC and others of our community participated and observed.

The ALAC is on record as to its concerns with aspects of certain WHOIS-related matters from which we do not retreat. \[See ALAC Statement <_add link of March 2011 Statement here_>.\] And having participated and observed the interactions with other communities, we are now more convinced than ever that the single most important objective for the Team is to report a perspective and/or recommend a set of policy initiatives or refinements to existing policy that realize a balancing of the competing interests in regard the entire WHOIS ecosystem. We are particularly seized of the possibility that having executed as we now seeproposed, the Team would be in a position to identify and define all of the problems attending WHOIS, prioritize their impact on consumer trust and confidence in the domain names system and make an unambiguous recommendation as to areas of whereneed theand focus of the attendantcorrectional policy work should be in the near to mid-term. |
