 Task Force members may be interested in a major US consumer survey
released yesterday under the title, "Do we trust the Internet? Our poll
finds that Web users are increasingly wary and demanding."   48 percent
of respondents said knowing who owns a Web site is very important.  This
was up 16 points from results obtained in 2002, the biggest increase
recorded for any category in the survey.  When those who said this was
"somewhat important" are included, the total approaches 80%.  
Of course, Whois is one way this knowledge can be obtained.
