Hi,
As a member of the ICANN GNSO, I will be voting on a choice between 2
formulation of the purpose of WHOIS. I do not know to what extent
this group has gotten involved in such issues but I would value this
group opinions, and arguments, on the choice between the following
formulations:
1. "The purpose of the gTLD Whois service is to provide information
sufficient to contact a responsible party for a particular gTLD
domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party who
can resolve, issues related to the configuration of the records
associated with the domain name within a DNS nameserver."
2. "The purpose of the gTLD Whois service is to provide information
sufficient to contact a responsible party or parties for a particular
gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party
who can resolve, technical, legal or other issues related to the
registration or use of a domain name."
Full report on the formulations can be found at.

I am planning to choose the first formulation, but the argument goes
on, and will probably go on after our vote. So any input from this
group will be appreciated. greatly.
thanks
a.
