At the same time, ICANN</div><div>Staff has published a paper</div><div><<a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/policy-implementation-framework-08j">http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/policy-implementation-framework-08j</a></div><div>an13-en.pdf> that is intended to facilitate further community discussions</div><div>on this topic.</div><div><br></div><div>Further community discussion will take place in Beijing and the inclusion of</div><div>this agenda item here serves to keep the issue on the agenda of the Council</div><div>in the interim.</div><div><br></div><div>ICANN Public Comment Forum on Policy vs. Implementation:</div><div><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/policy-implementation-31jan13-en.htm">http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/policy-implementation-31jan13-en.htm</a></div><div>Reply Comments Due by 14 March</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>2, Whois Privacy and Proxy Relay and Reveal Study</b></div><div><br></div><div>At the ICANN Meeting in Toronto, Lyman Chapin presented the results of the</div><div>survey</div><div><<a href="http://toronto45.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/presentation-whois-survey-1">http://toronto45.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/presentation-whois-survey-1</a></div><div>7oct12-en.pdf> that evaluated the feasibility of conducting a future</div><div>in-depth study into communication Relay and identity Reveal requests sent</div><div>for gTLD domain names registered using Proxy and Privacy services. </div><div><br></div><div>The Council discussed this at its 14 February 2013 meeting but did not reach</div><div>a firm conclusion. Some expressed concern about going ahead with the study</div><div>now, when a lot of other Whois activities are going on, while others</div><div>appeared to support moving forward as the study could result in data that</div><div>would help inform ongoing Whois activities. </div><div><br></div><div>One possible way forward is that staff is asked to go ahead with the RFP</div><div>for this work and then report back to the Council before going ahead with</div><div>the study? In this way, some of the preparatory work could be done, which</div><div>would allow us to move forward quickly if/when the Council decides to move</div><div>ahead.</div><div><br></div><div><b>3.
