Subject: [bc-gnso] FOR REVIEW: draft BC comment on study of Whois misuse

 

ICANN posted a  Study
<http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/cmu-misuse-study-26nov13-e
n.pdf>  on Whois Misuse.  

 

Back in 2009 the BC prompted this study to learn whether "Public access to
WHOIS data leads to a measurable degree of misuse - that is, to actions that
cause actual harm, are illegal or illegitimate, or otherwise contrary to the
stated legitimate purpose."

 

We discussed this study on our 5-Dec member call.  Three BC members
volunteered to review and draft comments on the study  (Jimson Olufuye,
Susan Kawaguchi, John Berard).

 

As discussed on our 9-Jan call, their proposed comment is brief and should
be easy for members to do an expedited review before ICANN's due date of
18-Jan-2014.

 

So please review the attached and REPLY ALL with your comments or objections
before 18-Jan-2014.

 

Thanks again to Jimson, Susan, and John for stepping-up to this.

 

Best,

Steve DelBianco

Vice chair for policy coordination
