Re: [ga] FYI: Council adopts Transfers and WHOIS

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Marilyn and all Former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

  This decision shows clearly the poor decision making abilities of
the NC given the predominant need for serious modifications
to the Whois privacy concerns posted to the comments requested
by the Whois Task force members.  It is clear that the Whois
Task Force and now the NC is more interested in their desire to
use personal and private registrant information for their own purposes
and thereby creating a definite and documented continuing
occurrences of placing those Registrants at high risk of personal
physical or undue financial harm.  A terrible Travesty indeed!

  It is clear to me, and to most of our members, the NCUC and
many others whom posted comments per request, as well as
viable and workable methods in contrast to the Whois Task
forces report, and now NC's adoption, that registrants personal
safety is far less important than the IPC's and BC's desire
using a registrants personal and private information for financial
gain...

  Therefore it is our hope that the DOC/NTIA will take under advisement
that the obvious misjudgment of the NC in taking this particular decision
regarding the Whois Task Forces Report and recommendations was
far aside from the input to which they received, has been discussed
and debated, and as such, reverse this decision by the NC.  Further,
we hope that the ICANN BoD, will in addition find that such a
poor and largely unsupported decision by the NC regarding
Whois Task Forces Report and recommendations especially with
respect to privacy will not be acknowledged or accepted
by the ICANN BoD.
