RE: [gnso-dow123] Security/stability questions

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think if you took out the word "if any" in the first question, that would 
help..l have also tried to reword the others to sound more objective.

1) What role does Whois play in supporting the Internet's security and 
stability?  

2) If there is such a role, what do you believe are the requirements of a Whois 
(or Whois-like system) to fulfill that role.

3) Would there be an impact to security and stability of the Internet if access 
to some or all Whois data were restricted.

Thoughts?

I fail to understand why asking questions should be considered as
inquisitional. All we are doing is trying to find a solution 
to a problem. To do so asking questions to relevant bodies seems 
a very good approch to me and is exactly what we have been
doing over the last years. After all, no one would be disapointed
if the chair of the SSAC would have to take the questions back
to the SSAC to discuss it there fore giving us an answer.

Best,
