ICANN is opening a public comment period on revised contract changes to alterthe terms for the public display of Whois information in the .TEL Registry Agreement.A comment period on the Telnic proposal was initially conducted from 11 May 2007through 28 June 2007. Following the ICANN meeting in San Juan, ICANN and Telnicengaged in ongoing discussions to reach resolution of Telnic's Whois proposal.Based on input received from the community, ICANN and Telnic discussed the proposedcontract changes and Telnic significantly amended its original proposal. In addition,ICANN is engaged in consultations with the U.K. Information Commissioner's Officeto understand the reported conflict between UK Privacy Law and the requirementsof the ICANN registry agreement with Telnic.
