RE: [nc-whois] Revised Bulk Access Draft

["Abel Wisman" <abel@able-towers.com>]

Karen, 

The last paragraph is a "comment" from me concerning the "why" of the
3.3.6.4

The lainea some people struggled with I tried to change into more
readable language, while as an add-on I commented on the "origin" of
that alinea, it was not meant to go in any report, again it was just an
explanation for those who might not fully understand what was written.

Personally I apply more importance to my other points in the same email,
can you inform we about those ?

Kind regards

Abel

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.  Again, I have tried to incorporate
all comments as best I could.

In response to some of the comments made yesterday, I just wanted to
respond as follows:

1.	Re: Kristy's opt-in concern:  I agree that the survey results
showed that opt-in was largely supported by the respondents, and it
would be my preference to incorporate such a structure into our
recommendation.  However, a point was made early on that opt-out was
probably overlooked as a feasible structure as a result of visceral and
adverse reactions to marketing where NEITHER opt out or opt in have been
made available.  The interim report, as published, contains this
language and therefore has been carried through in this draft - see
3.3.6.3 discussion (the new bullet point simply makes the same point for
further recommendations).  If we want to change our recommendation to
advocate opt-in, then we should discuss.

2.	Re:  Steve's comment on 3.3.6.5:  I modified the section to make
recommendations in 2 scenarios:  (1) if value-added products/services
are deemed to be solely related to marketing, and (2) if they encompass
other research services as he has suggested.  Does it make sense?
Steve, as you surmised, I was not suggesting that we get rid of services
such as those you highlighted; it was simply my interpretation of this
provision as solely related to marketing.

3.	Re:  Thomas's addition of registrars to those who should be
consulted with, I did not include the comment in the first bullet point
since they are included in a bullet point that follows below.

4.	Re:  Abel's comment regarding support for VeriSign (last
substantive paragraph of his email), i did not understand it.  Abel, can
you clarify?

Thanks again.

Regards.
KE
