During its June 23rd meeting, the Board asked for input from the ACs
and SOs regarding how it should address the WHOIS AoC Review Report.
I was asked to draft a statement for ALAC consideration.
The statement is attached in both WORD and PDF formats, and for your
convenience, the content is reproduced in this e-mail as well.
The Board set a date of August 31 for receiving such input.

===================================
In its statement of June 19, 2012
(http://forum.icann.org/lists/whois-rt-final-report/msg00014.html),
the ALAC supported the recommendations of the WHOIS Policy Review
Team and urged the Board to take effective action on these recommendations.
On June 23, 2012, the ICANN Board, passed its resolution 2012.06.23.26:
>Resolved (2012.06.23.26), the Board encourages public input on the
>Final Report and Recommendations, and requests that the ASO, ccNSO,
>GNSO, ALAC, GAC, and SSAC provide input to the Board by 31 August 2012.
The ALAC wishes to re-iterate that it believes that the entire set of
recommendations should be implemented with expediency. The ALAC
understands that several of these recommendations may require GNSO
policy development, but the vast majority do not.
The ALAC wishes to highlight several of the recommendations that the
Board clearly can move on unilaterally, and addressing these will
both serve to improve the overall WHOIS situation and send a message
to the community that the ICANN Board considers this to be an important issue.
Recommendation 1: Make WHOIS a Strategic Priority.
Recommendation 2: Consolidate current policies into a single clear
and comprehensible policy statement.
Recommendation 3: Outreach.
Recommendation 4: Address Compliance transparency, reporting and resources.
Recommendation 11: Improve Internic Service.
Recommendation 15: Detailed and Comprehensive Plan.
The ALAC notes that the Review Team's deadline for implementing
Recommendation 15 has already passed. The Board needs to move quickly
and decisively on this report.
