[At-Large] WHOIS policy

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

The public comment period closed 15th January on the report, but it will go
before the Council within a month, and of course Alan the GNSO Liaison and
Wendy of course will be able to make the At-Large community's views known
then.

At some point it will go to the ICANN Board, and a there may or may not be a
public comment opportunity at that time.
