The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council's WHOIS Survey
Working Group (WSWG) requests community input on a draft WHOIS Technical
Requirements Survey, to assess the content of the survey before releasing it
for public solicitation.  In parallel with the Public Comment period, the
Working Group is hosting two webinar sessions to brief the community on the
background of this effort and to solicit input from experts on technical
requirements for a new WHOIS protocol, in particular people knowledgeable
about technical aspects of WHOIS who can help assess if the survey asks the
right questions and in the right style to elicit useful and clear technical
feedback.  The Working Group seeks specific suggestions on changes to
language and questions that will make it clearer for experts to complete.

Members of the Working Group will provide a briefing on Friday 1 June at
13.00 UTC and Friday 1 June at 20.00 UTC, summarizing the purpose of this
effort and reviewing the work called for in the Working Group¹s charter.

The webinars will also review the sections of the survey as they relate to
the proposed technical requirements outlined in the GNSO WHOIS Service
Requirement Report -

9jul10-en.pdf that was prepared by Staff at the GNSO Council¹s request in
July 2010.

The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time
zones. Each session, scheduled to run for 60 minutes, will be conducted in
English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide
presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the
session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be submitted using
the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able to participate in
either of the live sessions, the recording of the session will be made
available shortly after the meeting. The policy staff is always available to
answer any questions that you email to policy-staff at icann.org
