Re: [gnso-dow123] Draft questions

Jeff: Thanks for doing all this work;  these questions should make for a very 
interesting discussion on Tuesday.  

I would like to propose changing "some" to "many" in question 4.  Based on 
the research of TF2, and published in its appendix in March of last year, there 
are many ICANN-accredited registrars based in countries of the EU and other 
regions with comprehensive privacy legislation.   These include 12 registrars 
in 
the UK, 11 in Germany, 10 in Canada, 7 in France, 4 in Spain, 3 in Israel and 
2 in Italy (March 04).  Of the top 111 registrars, 49 are based in such 
countries -- that constitutes "many" to me.

For those who have not seen the very comprehensive spreadsheet on data 
protection laws worldwide (based on registrar countries), I will be 
recirculating it 
this weekend, with some discussion and explanation.  I think it might be 
useful to Maria and others.

Regards, Kathy
