Phase 5Board Update

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-rtfinal-report-2012-05-11-en.

In November 2012, the ICANN Board provided a resolution on the WHOIS Policy Review Team Report recommendations: https://www.icann.org/resources/boardmaterial/prelim-report-2012-11-08-en#1.a. In response to recommendation 2 of the International Registration Data Working Group's (IRD-WG's) final report, a GNSO Policy Development Process has been started on the translation and transliteration of contact data, which addresses the submission of internationalized data. Board resolution 2016.03.10.06-7 requests GNSO to review policy implications of IRD Final Report and directs staff to incorporate IRD recommendations into Translation & Transliteration policy implementation as consistent with policy (https://www.icann.org/resources/boardmaterial/resolutions-2016-03-10-en#1.e).
