[Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

During last 2 BC member calls and in the 3-Oct email below, we called for 
volunteers to draft a BC comment on the new independent 
Study<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp-abuse-study-24sep13-en.htm&k=ZVNjlDMF0FElm4dQtryO4A%3D%3D%0A&r=cjstkpAuvAi4gqeqX5O18A%3D%3D%0A&m=atI2B5DOYETcLTekAtbBjynVr5U9M6KiyK3%2FR5ojU7s%3D%0A&s=8ae41b24259025e32cf78a20f7e0c14b4b25c12c6f2aaaef26bcb0aa67abd1f3>
 of Whois Privacy & Proxy Service Abuse.  
(link<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp-abuse-study-24sep13-en.htm>)

Fortunately, Elisa Cooper and Susan Kawaguchi volunteered to review the study 
and draft our comments.

The first draft is attached, giving BC members 12 days to review and comment 
before the 11-Nov deadline.

Please REPLY ALL with any questions or suggestions.

Thanks again to Elisa and Susan for taking the lead.

Subject: Business Constituency comments on new study of privacy/proxy abuse

On today's BC call, we talked about the new independent 
Study<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp-abuse-study-24sep13-en.htm&k=ZVNjlDMF0FElm4dQtryO4A%3D%3D%0A&r=cjstkpAuvAi4gqeqX5O18A%3D%3D%0A&m=atI2B5DOYETcLTekAtbBjynVr5U9M6KiyK3%2FR5ojU7s%3D%0A&s=8ae41b24259025e32cf78a20f7e0c14b4b25c12c6f2aaaef26bcb0aa67abd1f3>
 of Whois Privacy & Proxy Service Abuse.

The BC advocated for this study several years ago.  And these Results verify BC 
suspicion that bad actors use P/P to avoid identification.  But there are many 
important findings here, and we need volunteers to analyze and draft BC 
comments.
