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

[Eric Brunner-Williams in Portland Maine <brunner@nic-naa.net>]

I concure with Bruce's procedural recommendation, a registrar's task force,
rather than rely upon the GNSO task force's report.

For what its worth, the <dcp> element moved from OPTIONAL to MANDITORY in
the -09 version of the core EPP draft. The <dcp> is capable of expressing a
wider range of data collection policies than simply WHOIS, e.g., bulk sale,
repurposing, retention, registrant access (aka "correctness"), in the terms
of art employed in the EU, OEDC, and FTC (US) jurisdicitons.

I'm interested in the divergence of interests in this policy area between
registries and registrars. If anyone has any thoughts on the subject, please
drop me a line off-list.
