RE: [registrars] Privacy issues report submitted to the GNSO council by the non-commercial constituency

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@register.com>]

Bruce - thank you for sending these to the mailing list.  I believe that Mike has already put this on the agenda, but would a discussion and straw poll in Rio be sufficient to give you and the other reps guidance on how to vote?

Clearly, privacy issues have been raised by a number of stake holders in and outside ICANN.  This report is a very well thought out document and I support their recommendations for a) addressing the security and privacy problems posed by public Whois as it is currently constitued; and b) holding off from  Council action until privacy issues have received serious deliberation.

If it's appropriate to do so, I would move the Registrar Constituency vote to support the NomCom report and recommend to its Council representatives to vote accordingly.

Thanks, Elana

Hello All,

See the attached report just released by the non-commercial constituency to the GNSO Council.  I would like to hear registrar views on whether the issues raised in the report our appropriate for policy action.

The GNSO Council will vote in Rio on whether to initiate policy action.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

Dear Bruce:
As promised, attached is the report on Privacy prepared by the 
Noncommercial constituency representative. The report calls for
the creation of a new Task Force to consider privacy issues,
noting that the WHOIS Task Force has failed to submit an
adequate privacy issues report by the March 11 deadline.
