RE: [nc-whois] Letter from IWGDPT

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGCRP" <mcade@att.com>]

Dear Louis and Stuart

Thanks for forwarding the link to the letter from the International Working Group on Data Protection in Telecommunications.
The co-chairs will send an acknowledgement shortly. While we appreciate receiving this, we want to assure you that the TF was already taking the input into account from the version which Thomas Roessler had conveyed.

The final report on some aspects of accuracy and bulk access which will be voted on by the Council 2/20, is not addressing this issue nor making a recommendation regarding searchability. Instead, the issues related to searchability will be addressed in one of the Issues Reports, to be published prior to the Rio ICANN meeting.  

Please be assured that the Task Force appreciates receiving this input and will be discussing it, and other related inputs, further in the preparation of the Issues Reports. At the Rio meeting, the Issues Reports will be on the agenda of the Council; at that time, the Task Force will also provide some recommendations on possible ways to address each of the Issues Reports.

We welcome further dialogue with ICANN.

Best Regards,

Marilyn Cade, Co-chair

Subject: [nc-whois] Letter from IWGDPT


To the Whois Task Force:

We have now obtained a copy of the letter (a copy of which Thomas
Roessler got this month at a seminar in Berlin) from Hansjürgen Garstka
of the International Working Group on Data Protection in
Telecommunications to Stuart Lynn concerning Whois policy.  It has been
posted at
<http://www.icann.org/correspondence/garstka-to-lynn-15jan03.htm>.

Best regards,
