Steve,
My constituency members are saying that they are under considerable pressure from legal, corporate, community and other bodies to tie implementation of better accuracy and privacy together, so that enhanced accuracy standards and mechanisms do not lead to unlawful privacy methods/practices (for those who operate under the EU Data protection restrictions, for instance).

Does this mean that implementation of the accuracy recommendations should be delayed until one or more PDPs regarding privacy are concluded?

Subject: [nc-whois] Addendum to WHOIS TF Report in front of GNSO Council

Dear Whois Task Force:
My constituency met yesterday to discuss the Whois Task Force reports on Accuracy and Bulk Whois Access, prior to the vote on approving these reports in the GNSO Council.
 
The gTLD Constituency endorses these reports, with the following addendum, which it requests be added to the report prior to consideration by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board.
 
"At the time of implementation, Privacy and Accuracy must be linked together and not addressed independently.  Furthermore, Privacy issues may require modifications to existing Consensus Policy."
 
The gTLD registries are concerned that once Consensus Policy is endorsed, particulalry in the area of Accuracy, any such policy cannot (and should not) be implemented without providing due consideration to Privacy.
 
Since this statement has to do with implementation of our TF's suggested policies, I view it as a benign change.
 
Regards,
Ram
