> 7 December 2012
> In response to requests from the GNSO Council to gather data to  
> inform future WHOIS policy development activities, ICANN has  
> commissioned a series of studies to evaluate different aspects of  
> WHOIS. The WHOIS Privacy and Proxy Relay/Reveal Final Report,  
> prepared by the Interisle Consulting Group in Boston, MA, USA, is  
> the first of these studies to be published by ICANN. The Final  
> Report takes into account public comment received on the Draft  
> Report (See:http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp- 
> survey-04jun12-en.htm), and is available athttp://gnso.icann.org/ 
> issues/whois/whois-pp-survey-final-report-22aug12-en.pdf [PDF, 1.23  
> MB]. The Appendices are available at http://gnso.icann.org/issues/

> This survey was organized to determine the feasibility of  
> conducting a future in-depth study to examine requests to relay  
> communications to, and to reveal the identity of, customers of  
> proxy and privacy services used in connection with gTLD domain  
> names. The Interisle Consulting Group completed the survey in  
> August 2012. The findings suggest that it may be feasible to tailor  
> a future study to provide aggregated data and basic data collection  
> from privacy and proxy providers. Such a future survey is likely to  
> be well regarded by all stakeholders in the community, as it would  
> provide significantly useful data in understanding how privacy and  
> proxy providers manage relay and reveal requests.
>
> The GNSO Council is expected to evaluate whether to recommend a new  
> future study based upon the findings of the WHOIS Privacy and Proxy  
> Survey Final Report.
