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

["Fares, David" <DFares@xxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Thank you for a well drafted statement.  Would it  be possible to incorporate 
into the comment that measures to address misuse should not jeopardize access 
to Whois data?

Thanks,
David

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-en.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
