<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. GNSO Council in Beijing Meeting Planning</b></div>
