[council] Proposed WHOIS motion for 20 July 2006

[Mawaki Chango]

Questions:

Rick, what are you referring to by "This" in your first sentence
below? (All) if there is something you think is missing in the
summary provided by the staff, please let me know with specific
references.

Robert, Carlos et al. should NCUC draft a letter to Bruce to
request ICANN to make public all the inputs/letters received,
especially from the DPAs, etc. or an email from a councilor to
Bruce will do?

Ilya, if relevant, can I quote your earlier email in my
communication to the council?
