[ALAC] Fwd: Draft GNSO WHOIS RT Final Report Summary Chart

[Alan Greenberg]

At the last GNSO Council meeting, the Whois Review Team issue was 
discussed, specifically the inability of the GNSO Council to submit a 
single statement addressing the Board's question on advice on how to 
address the 16 Recommendations due to the wide range of views held by 
the various SGs and Constituencies.

I made a comment that I found it rather unfortunate that a statement 
could not be submitted, even if it was just a summary of the various 
views held. That suggestion was accepted and I am attaching a draft 
of the positions held.

As an aside, one of the replies to my suggestion was that the GNSO 
did not need to oversee such a summary, but rather ICANN staff could 
have done it and just given it to the Board. I was very taken aback 
by this, because as some of you may remember, there has been a LOT of 
discussion about staff taking GNSO reports and statements (and those 
of other groups such as the ALAC), summarizing them (and perhaps 
emphasizing some aspects over others) and giving them to the Board. 
The gist of this discussion is that staff should not be summarizing 
(and perhaps editorializing), but rather the Board should see the 
SO/AC position. So this suggestion was almost a wish to return to the 
bad old days. I did point out that it was fine for policy staff to be 
involved in such a condensation of positions, but that the GNSO. The 
attached paper is the result.
