RE: [council] Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data Working Group Charter



Thanks Chuck. Would accept the attached amendments as friendly? It
removes the "data accuracy and reliability" terminology. That keeps it
focused on the issue at hand and lessens the chance that the WG gets off
on non-related issues.

 GNSO Council Motion to approve Internationalized Registration Data
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.
