  2. GNSO Purpose • Responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains • com, net, org, biz, info, aero, coop, museum, pro, name

  3. Representation • As of today we have 6 constituencies (2 suppliers and 4 users) • 3 representatives per constituency • Broad geographic representation • Broad outreach and commitment • Large work program of important issues • Bylaws result in drop in participation and representation • 2 per constituency instead of 3

  4. GNSO request • GNSO Council requests that the Board revise the current transition article of the bylaws to allow 3 representatives per constituency until end of annual meeting 2004 • Review the performance of the council in 2004 prior to the annual meeting in 2004, and revisit the decision regarding 3 versus 2 at that time

  5. GNSO Activities • Registry Services • WHOIS • New TLDs • Contract Enforcement • UDRP

  6. 3 WHOIS Taskforces • Limit data mining of contact information • Review data collected and data displayed • Improve accuracy

  7. Data mining • Collect information on current needs • Volume of queries, data needed per query • Review approaches to prevent data mining • Determine best practice solution • Feed requirements to IETF for new standard protocol (e.g CRISP)

  8. Data collection and display • Collect information on how registrants are informed about the data at time of registration • Determine best practice to inform registrants • Conduct analysis of the purposes for data collected, and determine what is necessary to be collected (balance contactability and privacy) • Determine what is necessary for public display and review mechanisms to preserve privacy

  9. Accuracy • Collect information on current techniques used by registrars to verify data at the time of collection • Collect information on techniques used by other online service providers • Create best practices document • Determine how to cost effectively prevent the provision of deliberate false information

  10. Interim Round of Sponsored TLDs • Council seeks clarification on whether the Board is changing its commitment to go forward with a limited round for sponsored TLDs, prior to development of a new strategy for the creation of new TLDs • Council notes that a significant change in this policy area should not be made without consultation with the GNSO community
