This is a very useful statement - that I agree with almost completely. I
would note that if the GNSO wants to put the market into a position
where it may provide the privacy the market wants, preventing certain
providers from offering it because of localized exceptions is not the
way to do it - unless that player is prevented from offering privacy
because of its own unique local exceptions.

In other words, if my relationship with ICANN allows Tucows to offer a
privacy service, then Tim's relationship with ICANN should allow him to
do the same - regardless of the peculiarities of our local legislation
(except of course when the local law would normally prevent such a
service from being offered...).

Regards,
