Interested in knowing more about the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team, following its plenary meetings live, and hearing the latest updates on their work on assessing the extent to which the prior Directory Service Review recommendations have been implemented and the extent to which implementation of such recommendations has resulted in the intended effect.

We have summarized for you below the various ways to stay updated on the review team's work:

  • Mailing-Lists

Observers may subscribe to the Observers mailing-list rds-whois2-observers@icann.org by sending a request to mssi-secretariat@icann.org. Calendar invites to RDS-WHOIS2-RT calendars as well as agendas are forwarded to this mailing-list.

In addition, observers can follow RDS-WHOIS2-RT exchanges by subscribing to the RDS-WHOIS2-RT mailing-list with read-only rights only.

  • Attend a meeting virtually

All meetings, whether in person or online, will have a dedicated Adobe Connect room for Observers to participate: https://participate.icann.org/rdsreview-observers

  • Attend a meeting in person

When Review Team members gather for public face-to-face meetings, Observers may attend to share their input and questions with the Review Team, as appropriate. The calendar of scheduled calls and meetings is published on the wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/WHO/RDS-WHOIS2+Review.

Although your participation as an observer to an ICANN Meeting is free-of-charge, all related travel costs will not be covered.

  • Share your input to the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team

Observers may send an email to the Review Team to share input on their work.  Review team members cannot be contacted on an individual basis. You can address your remark and/or question to the following address: input-to-rds-whois2-rt@icann.org.

We look forward hearing from you and thank you for your interest in the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team.
