gnso-dow123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx<BR>Subject: Uses of WHOIS data<BR><BR>Hello
Maria,<BR><BR>In the past, the WHOIS task forces have surveyed the
users of the WHOIS<BR>service and collected information on how the data
retrieved from WHOIS is<BR>currently used by these users.<BR><BR>TO
assist the WHOIS task force to determine the purpose of the
public<BR>display (via the WHOIS service) of data collected at the time
of<BR>registration, please collate the current uses of WHOIS data as
recorded in<BR>previous WHOIS policy work.<BR><BR>The GNSO
Constituencies can review the information and make any
corrections<BR>or additions.<BR><BR>I hope this can be done within 7
days.<BR><BR>Once all the information is available, the WHOIS task
force can begin to<BR>develop a policy that specifies a purpose for
WHOIS in the context of the<BR>ICANN mission and core values.
<BR><BR>For the GNSO public forum in Luxembourg, the aim should be to
provide the<BR>public with information on the current uses of WHOIS,
and a proposed<BR>policy for the purpose of the WHOIS service. &nbsp;
The task force can then<BR>take advantage of public
comment.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Bruce Tonkin </BLOCKQUOTE>
