[ALAC] Analysis of WHOIS AoC RT Recommendations.

[Alan Greenberg]

You will recall that at its last meeting, the ALAC unanimously 
approved a statement to the Board reiterating its position that all 
16 recommendations be implemented, and stressed that several were 
very important and clearly did not require any prior GNSO policy 
development. That ALAC statement can be found at 
http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-WHOIS-Advice.

Based on further discussions, and in light of a controversy that has 
arisen in the GNSO, it was suggested that the ALAC explicitly 
identify which recommendations do not require any prior policy 
development, and which might required GNSO policy development.

I had already done a brief review looking at which recommendations 
might require policy development. I have since revised this and 
present it to you here.

In summary, of the 16 recommendations, 12 do not require GNSO policy 
development, 3 *might* require policy development, but that would 
depend on work carried out over the coming months and years, and 1 
does require policy development by the GNSO along with the rest of 
the community, but in my opinion, does not require a formal PDP.

The detailed analysis is attached. The report with the 
recommendations in detail can be found at 
http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/whois/final-report-11may12-en.pdf.

It is essential that this analysis reach the Board before the Board 
Workshop scheduled for September 12-13.

I am not sure if Olivier wants to hold a formal vote on this, or for 
the ALAC to just reach consensus, but regardless, the first step if 
for anyone who does not agree with this analysis to speak up.
