In March, 2007, a WHOIS Task Force convened by the GNSO Council in June,
2005 completed its final report. The Task Force was asked to address
important questions related to WHOIS. Key questions included the purpose of
WHOIS service, which information should be available to the public, how to
improve WHOIS accuracy and how to deal with conflicts between WHOIS
requirements and relevant privacy laws. In the final report, a simple
majority of members of the WHOIS Task Force endorsed a proposal called the
"Operational Point of Contact" (OPOC).

Under OPOC, every registrant would identify a new operational contact and
the technical and administrative contact details would no longer be
displayed. The final WHOIS Task Force Report of 12 March, 2007 is posted at
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois-privacy/whois-services-final-tf-report-1
2mar07.htm.

Public comments are invited via email until 00:00 UTC (17:00 PDT) on 30
October 2007 on the GNSO Council's WHOIS reports and recommendations.
