[gnso-acc-sgb] WG B Proposal (although odd)

["patrick cain" <pcain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

After listening to numerous group debate the "how do people get access" I
thought about attacking the problem from the other direction. Since our goal
is to provide privacy protections for domain registrants/owners via OPOC, I
keep returning to the idea of allowing registrants to add some 'privacy
protections' during the registrations process -- and then not change the
rest of the Whois world. The 'privacy protection' can be enabled from the
billing address and also be selectable by people who may or may not want it.
But the onus is now on the domain registrant to decide instead of the
registrar/registry -- which I don't think is really workable with 800 of
them.

Trying to fit this into the "how do people access Whois data?" may require
some squinting, but it does work with the OPOC proposal and shouldn't
require much retooling of the infrastructure. I will also readily agree that
the proposal is not fully thought out, but I'm starting to like it more as
I'm engaged in more conference calls.

Milton, please advise if there is a better place to bring this up because
this is too off base from our subgroup charter.

Pat Cain
