I understand that, my question is whether there is some  way for "the
comment system to recognize your email address" so that that address is
"verified" for future submissions.

Hi Steve,
 
The verification process is simply an email sent to the address of the
poster asking for a response, i.e. verification just checks that the
email address is live and not spoofed.

Thanks to staff for adding the following to the ICANN posting of the
preliminary report: 
 
(Please note that comments are only accepted from verified email
addresses. If the comment system does not recognize your email address,
it will send a message to that address, with instructions as to how you
can confirm your submission. Unconfirmed submissions are deleted after 5
days.) 

Can the staff advise how one gets one's e-mail address "verified" for
this purpose?

Neither the GNSO posting nor the ICANN posting seems to include the
sentence that Kathy suggested, warning people that after submitting a
comment they will need to respond to an automated message verifying the
submission.  Can this be added?  
 
Also the GNSO posting refers to this as the "Final Preliminary Task
Force Report," which is confusing.  Perhaps it should be changed to
conform to the ICANN posting, "Preliminary Task Force Report."

Glen and Maria:
Thanks for the broad posting of our report.  The GNSO website, however,
does not make clear that there is a public comment period associated
with the Preliminary Task Force report.  Would it be possible to
expeditiously include the same line from the ICANN homepage:  The
"Preliminary Task Force Report on the Purpose of Whois and of the Whois
Contacts" has been posted.
<http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-18jan06.htm> 
Public Comments are open from 19 January 2006 to 08 February 2006.

Further, the link on the GNSO website should go to the Request for
Comments page, not straight into the report. That gives people links to
the report, comments email and archives.
Again, I think the ICANN homepage gets this right and if the GNSO page
follows, all will be well.
 
Thanks,
Kathy
