David — thanks for that suggestion.  Here’s my reaction for you and the 
drafters of this comment:


 


The whole point of this study was to test the validity of claims by privacy 
advocates that misuse of public Whois was responsible for spam, harassment, and 
other abuse of registrants. 


 


First, we should say that this latest study does
not document abuse arising from public access, so there is no justification to 
limit public access.


 


Second, we can claim that any restrictions on whois access that might be 
contemplated should nonetheless preserve access by any party needing to know 
the identity of who controls
 a domain where there is evidence of actionable harm.

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

ICANN posted a  Study 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
