RE: [gnso-reg-sgc] Draft Final Report of Sub Group C

1)yes a use distinction was put to this subgroup and the result is NO:
use should not be a distinction.  This is due to a number of reasons
such as the transient nature of the use and the difficulty in judging
use.
2) Therefore that leaves a distinction based on nature of the
registrant.  I happen to believe that we should not make this
distinction IF the result of the distinction is that legal persons MUST
(sorry for the caps, just trying to emphasize important words, Im not
yelling) be "outed" in the whois, because legal entities have legitimate
reasons to not be "outed", for example, for competitive reasons.  IF the
MUST is a MAY, then I'm OK with having the distinction, but then I don't
see the purpose of it because natural persons can use a proxy service to
protect their privacy, so why have the distinction?
3) yes I agree with your comment below "COULD be made public" not "MUST
be made public"  Very big difference.

Ross,

I disagree.  The distinction between commercial vs non-commercial is one
that was put directly to this sub-group.  The distinction can be made,
based
on a self-declaration of the registered name holder (RNH) at the time of
registration.  The consequence is that if the RNH declares that it is
involved in commercial activities, then a more full disclosure of WHOIS
data
could be made public.  This is consistent with data protection law.  

As for enforcement of this distinction (as well as enforcement of the
distinction between legal vs. natural person), this is being actively
discussed within sub-group A.

Thanks,
Chris

Lynn - ICANN is naturally limited to making policy related to the 
registration of domain names and their function within the DNS. You are 
proposing policy that extends beyond this scope by delving into how 
various forms of content and intent affect consumers and consumer 
behavior. This is naturally the area of government and national law, not

ICANN as a technical coordinator of the domain name system.

You are barking up a tree that the GNSO can't climb.
