Margie: 
Let me remind everyone of our charter, again. Our subgroup is charged
with developing a proposal for "legitimate parties" to access whois
information that is no longer available for public access.

This presumes, of course, that we _will_ restrict access to some data
elements of Whois, along the lines of the OPoC recommendation. The
precise issue we must discuss is who gets access to the data taken out
of public access (street address, email, phone number) and under what
conditions.
