Re: [alac] GAO Report on Domain Names

[Bret Fausett <bfausett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The nice thing about the GAO is that its data is usually accurate and 
unbiased. Of course, it's the question that the GAO was asked to 
research  that colors the result. This report was prepared at the behest 
of the House Subcommittee on the Courts, the Internet and Intellectual 
Property, which has an unusual IP bias, and I suspect the results of the 
report will be used for additional whois accuracy laws. If the GAO had 
been asked to look at privacy issues too, I assume its work would have 
been accurate and unbiased on those issues as well.
