Re: [gnso-dataprotection-thickwhois] Start to work?

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding use of the procedure, 
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rt4-whois/Week-of-Mon-20110815/001212.html 
says that the procedure was used once by a registry. However, 
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registries/rsep?page=4 seems to 
clearly indicate that they also used the RSEP process, and that this 
process was completed prior to the 17Jan08 effective date of the policy.
I have written to Denise asking for a clarification.

From my personal point of view, being associated with the ALAC which 
considers such issues of great importance, I cannot recall an 
invocation of the policy.
