Carlton,

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree on the idea of noting ongoing ICANN 
developments although stressing that they were not part of our conclusions.

Note to all. I promised a final version for next week's full WG call, so the 
pressure is on. :)

Don

I have attached a draft incorporating Carlton's changes and adding a
comment to his comment, and following most of Steve's edits.

I realize that I am violating the "deal with only what is" caveat, but I
do want to address the draft RAA. The proposed amendments concerning
privacy conflict do apply only to collection and retention. However, two
other sections might apply.

3.2.1 Alternate Data Elements has a number of change related to registrars
and registries being able to specify, with ICANN approval, publication of
a set of Whois data elements that is not the norm. A question might be
raised whether such an agreement could be used to limit what is published
if the Rr and Ry agree about data protection issues. I think that such an
argument would be a stretch, especially since the new language strikes me
as more of a clarification rather than an amendment.

+1.  In addition, it appears designed to accommodate developments as outlined 
in the Consensus Policies and Temporary Policies Specifications


3.3.1 Port 43 services are now required from registrars only in thin
registries. For the sake of argument, and noting that I blanked on why we
talked about Port 43 on a call, could we conclude that data protection
levels would be different in thin vs thick registries?

Yes, I think you're right here.


If so, should we

mention the potential amendment in a footnote?

Yes, to telegraph that we noticed and for clarity.


I will send this version to Mikey, with a note that we have some pending
issues that will be resolved by next week. I'm not sure that we have
enough likely callers to make a call worthwhile this week. I will call in
if anybody wants to participate in a working session concerning a new
draft that may appear magically tomorrow night or Monday morning. However,
I will ask only for a phone line rather than have a formal subteam call. I
hope that the ATRT gods aren't cringing.

Don
