[nc-whois] European Commission Comment on Whois

[Louis Touton <touton@icann.org>]

To the GNSO Whois Task Force:

I have received a message (copied below) from Diana Alonso Blas of the
European Commission.  In that message, she requests an adjustment to the
characterization, contained in the Whois Task Force's Final Report on
Accuracy and Bulk Access, of the status of the comments made by the
Commission on the Whois process.  Since this relates to a report of the
Task Force, I would appreciate your reviewing Ms. Alonso Blas' message
and making any adjustments that are appropriate.

Best regards,

Louis Touton
General Counsel

Dear Mr. Touton,

I have just seen the Final Report of the GNSO Council's Whois Task Force
Accuracy and Bulk Access of 6 February 2003 in which a reference is made
to the contribution we sent you some weeks ago.

The text refers to the fact that DG Internal Market has provided this
paper. I would like to clarify that, as it was mentioned in the mail of
Philippe Renaudiere when he sent the paper to you, the paper has been
drafted in co-operation with DG Information Society and is fully agreed
with them. We would therefore prefer that the paper is referred to as a
contribution of the European Commission presented by these two DGs, just
to avoid any possible misunderstanding.

As indicated in the paper, we would appreciate having an opportunity for
further discussion of the issues in the near future.

Best regards,

Diana Alonso Blas

I have received the attached "Contribution of the European Commission to
the general discussion on the Whois database raised by the Reports
produced by the ICANN Whois Task Force."  Since this contribution
relates to issues that the GNSO (formerly DNSO) Whois task force has
been studying for well over a year, I sending it to you, as co-chairs,
for the task force's consideration.

Questions to the European Commission (Internal Market DG) about this
contribution should be directed to:
