[ALAC] WHOIS background

[Brendler, Beau]

In 's advance of tomorrow's call, I have found this document from the WHOIS working group from earlier in the summer. It does describe a number of the topics discussed for study, but is probably not as good as reading Liz Gasster's memo previously referenced.

The NCUC, by the way, seems to be wholly in favor of no further studies of WHOIS.

As you know, that's not my perspective, and in fact we have done some of our own research on the issue, as you know from my brief presentation in Paris.

However, the studies that I think need doing have already been proposed by the GAC. So perhaps, since the GAC is doing them anyway, perhaps we could simply say that we support the GAC's efforts to study topics of concern to the user community.
