[ALAC-Announce] EWG - Singapore Workshop - time & room change

[At-Large Staff]

Dear All,
 
We want to alert you to a time and room change for the the Expert Working
Group (EWG) on Next-generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS)
Singapore workshop:  Exploring Replacements for WHOIS - The Next Generation
Directory Services 
<http://singapore49.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-gtld-directory-services> . It
will be held on Monday, 24 March at 16:30-17:30 SGT in room Bras Basah.
 
This open workshop will feature an update on EWG activities and a
preliminary discussion about potential risks and benefits that might result
if ICANN were to replace WHOIS by a next-generation system. All interested
parties are invited to participate in this workshop and to continue the
dialogue post-Singapore through an on-line RDS Risk Survey
<http://tiny.cc/risk-ewg-survey>  and interactive webinars that will be
scheduled to gather broad community input on this topic.
 
RDS Risk survey/webinar results will inform the EWG as it refines its
recommendations for a next generation RDS. The EWG looks forward to hearing
your thoughts and perspectives at their Singapore session (see
http://singapore49.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-gtld-directory-services
<http://singapore49.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-gtld-directory-services>  for
further details and remote participation information). An announcement of
the RDS Risk survey and webinars will be posted on the ICANN website and
circulated on this list.
 
The EWG may be reached at: input-to-ewg at icann.org
<mailto:input-to-ewg at icann.org>  (public list) should you have comments you
would like to submit on the EWG¹s Status Update Report
<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/status-update-
11nov13-en.pdf> . 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience the workshop time change may have caused.
The EWG decided to change the time (and to add webinars)  to accommodate the
community's participation in other key sessions that are being held
simultaneously on Monday, 24 March.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Regards,
 
ICANN staff on behalf of the Expert Working Group
