WHOIS REVIEW TEAM

The Review Team discussed the process timeline and concluded that the final report should be issued by 30 November 2011.
10 November – Conference Call
The WHOIS Policy Review Team adopted the ICANN Board Conflict of Interest Policy.
The Review Team Members resolved to adopt the Chair/Vice Chair guidelines ; a final document is to be published on the WHOIS RT's wiki at: [https://community.icann.org/display/whoisreview/WHOIS+Policy+Review+Team\|../../../../../../../../../display/whoisreview/WHOIS+Policy+Review+Team|][[AJ1]|#_msocom_1]
Nominated by Kathy Kleiman, Emily Taylor was appointed Chair of the WHOIS Policy Review Team. Kathy Kleiman accepted to take on the Vice-Chair role.
24 November – Conference Call
The group resolved to create a secluded wiki that would contain private information such as travel arrangements, contact details etc, to publicly recognize its utility and to fully disclose the nature of this restricted area for good measure.
The WHOIS Review Team unanimously stressed that transparency was paramount in their process as it will promote trust and confidence. It therefore decided to embrace the working principle that meetings should be open and resolved to open its calls to silent observers on the condition that a list of attendees be provided and identity of participants be stated. The WHOIS RT reserves the right to invoke the Chatham Rule when deemed necessary.
The rt4-whois@icann.org email list archives will be available for public consultation in line with a decision reached by the group. Members, however, stressed that no private email list should be initiated and that the use of the secluded wiki should prevail in this respect. Individual emails may be sent if necessary.
The first official F2F meeting will be held in London and is scheduled for Wednesday, 19 January and Thursday, 20 January 2011. A draft agenda has been posted.
The WHOIS RT resolved to invite speakers to the London meeting and to subsequent sessions.
5 December – Informal F2F meeting
Efforts should be made on the list to advance the scope of work draft into a tangible proposal ready for consideration at the first face-to-face meeting in London.
