[aso-council] Names Council Resolution Regarding Whois

[Louis Touton <touton@icann.org>]

To the Address Council:

The Names Council of the DNSO is engaged in a study of Whois services,
with a view to possible development of policy recommendtions.  On 29
July 2001, the Names Council passed a resolution inviting the Address
Council to contribute to this effort, in such a manner as the Address
Council deems appropriate.  The text of the Names Council resolution is
as follows:

     The Whois Committee of the ICANN Names Council is coordinating a
     consultation process concerning Whois services presently provided
in
     connection with the domain-name registration system. The current
     consultation process is due to conclude on the 31st July 2001 and
more
     information may be found at
     http://www.icann.org/dnso/whois-survey-en-10jun01.htm

     Resolution:

     The Names Council notes that its consultation process raises issues
     that may be relevant to the policy areas concerning which the
Address
     and Protocol Supporting Organizations are primarily responsible and
     that coordination among the supporting organizations may be
beneficial.
     The Names Council would welcome collaboration with the Address and
     Protocol Supporting Organizations and invites the Address Council
and
     the Protocol Council to contribute to the assessment of the Whois
     system and the development of policy recommendations in such a
manner
     as they deem appropriate.

Best regards,

Louis Touton
ICANN Secretary
