Dear Jordyn and fellow TF members, Attached is the BC final statement on WHOIS purpose and contacts. Sorry to be late in providing it to you. Best regards, Marilyn Cade, David Fares and Sarah Deutsch _____ From: Marilyn Cade [mailto:marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 12:10 PM To: 'jordyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'; 'gnso-dow123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: [gnso-dow123] Purpose of Whois : Types of problems Dear Jordyn, the BC position will be posted to the TF on Monday, having now achieved its formal acceptance by the Constituency. As a preview, the BC support a perspective that the purpose of WHOIS is to address a number of problems, including those that threaten the security and stability of the Internet, but notes that is broader than "for technical purposes". We will be posting later in the day. Best regards, Marilyn _____ From: owner-gnso-dow123@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-gnso-dow123@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of KathrynKL@xxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 11:52 AM To: jordyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; gnso-dow123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [gnso-dow123] Purpose of Whois : Types of problems Jordyn: Thanks for issuing follow-up questions. As the statements show, NCUC and the Registry Constituency support listing a technical purpose for the WHOIS data. We also support the comments of the Article 29 Working Group of EU Data Protection Commissioners which encouraged ICANN to allow WHOIS to serve the technical functions while not compromising the privacy rights of individuals. I would like to ask that comments on purpose also include why that purpose fits within ICANN's mission and core values. If we do, I think we will move this discussion much more quickly forward to closure.

For example, the NCUC statement suggests that the purpose is limited to resolving "technical problems". On the other hand, the IPC statement does not limit the purpose to resolving a specific type of problem. Should the purpose of Whois be defined in resolving specific types of problems? Attachment:
