Please find attached a revised draft which reflects support for a broad 
definition of "Consumer" and added emphasis as to why timely, unrestricted and 
public access of Whois is important to business.

Best,

My suggestion is that the BC position should strongly support the broader 
definition. All Web and Internet statistics use the concept of individuals who 
use the Internet -- e.g. who have access to the Internet.  And, I agree with 
Lynn [and others] that the AoC intended to refer to that broader 
characterization.

Does the draft need to make all that clearer in its language?

Thanks Steve for this draft and the work of the BC to provide productive 
comments.

As an member of the Whois Review Team, I would personally appreciate support 
from the BC for the broader definition of "consumer" as a global Internet user 
rather than the narrow definition that would limit the concept of consumers to 
registrants and ICANN stakeholders.

I maintain that the broader definition is consistent with language in other 
sections of the AOC that refer to "public interest" and "Internet users" as 
well as the policy requirement for public availability of Whois data.

Also, I believe members of the BC have first hand experience with the UDRP 
process and a good understanding of the dependency on Whois data for dispute 
resolution.  The BC perspective on this specific need for accurate and reliable 
Whois data would be helpful in progressing our work.
Lynn
