RE: [gnso-dow123] More questions for 3/15 discussion re recommendation 2

In rewording questions so that they are neutral in tone, there still needs
to be the full scope of the questions.I know you are striving for that.  The
call is at 2:00 p.m.? RIGHT?

I am trying to reword the questions to take out any subjectivity.  So far I
have gotten questions from Steve, Milton and Kathy.  I am also adding some
questions derived from our call several months back.

Yes, though what is below is not a rewording of my questions but
Milton's own questions.    

I leave it up to you and Jordyn to determine the format in which the
questions will be submitted to ICANN staff.  I think if you simply
packaged together what has appeared on the list over the past 24 hours
it would not overstrain their bandwidth.

Steve,

Are you ok with Milton's rewording of your question?

1. In your letter of December 20, you wrote: "might it be preferable to
focus GNSO attention on developing improvements to Whois policies that
will allow for the broadest possible harmony with local regulations?"
Can you elaborate on what you meant by that and perhaps suggest specific
ways in which the GNSO might do this? I ask this because the
recommendation under dispute was intended precisely to harmonize the
WHOIS requirements of the RAA with national privacy regulations.

2. Do you agree that the trade off, implicit in any Whois requirements,
between registrant privacy and the desire of other users to collect
information about domain holders is a policy calculation to be settled
through the GNSO's bottom up policy development process, and not
determined top-down by ICANN staff?
