[registrars] Whois

["Cute, Brian" <bcute@networksolutions.com>]

All,

I have begun to contacted registries to solicit their participation in the
call next Friday and echo Ross' point that now is the time for registrars to
get out front on this issue.  Mike held a meeting yesterday to discuss bulk
whois, anonymous regisrations and potential models for providing modified
access to whois data.  Although IP, law enforcement, privacy advocates and
certain registrars participated in the meeting (and some constructive
discussion took place concerning the GNR tiered access model), the RC
initiated call next Friday presents a real opportunity for the RC to
establish a framework of discussion that can lead to a positive treatment of
this issue in Montreal.
