Working Group Charter
15 Sep 09
Whereas:
- There have been increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS
service is deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy and
reliability, as well as in other technical areas noted in recent SSAC reports,
such as accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact information in an
internationalized domain name (IDN) environment.
- On 21 April 2009, the ICANN Security and
Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published a report titled SAC037 "Display
and usage of Internationalized Registration Data" (SAC037) located at
http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac037.pdf.
- On 26 June 2009 the ICANN
Board approved a resolution requesting that the GNSO and SSAC, in
consultation with staff, convene an Internationalized Registration Data
Working Group (IRD WG) comprised of individuals with knowledge, expertise, and
experience in these areas to study the feasibility and suitability of
introducing display specifications to deal with the internationalization of
Registration Data.
- In the 26 June resolution, the Board directs the
Internationalized Registration Data Working Group to solicit input from
interested constituencies including ccTLD operators and the ccNSO during its
discussions to ensure broad community input.
- ICANN Staff in cooperation with members of the
GNSO Council and SSAC developed a draft charter for said working group as
attached.
The GNSO Council:
- Approves the IRD WG draft charter,
and
- Encourages GNSO constituencies, stakeholder
groups and other GNSO participants to identify possible participants of the
IRD WG with knowledge, expertise, and experience in these areas to study the
feasibility and suitability of introducing display specifications to deal with
the internationalization of Registration
Data.
