At the first IFWP meeting there was a lot of support, in fact, I would
characterize it as "overwhelming consensus", that whois data be protected
per the European privacy guidelines.

As for the whois database and the US government, we ought not to forget
that there is this thing called 5 USC 552a, the Privacy Act of 1974, which
seems to have been conveniently overlooked.
