[gnso-whois-wg] clarification of GAC relevance to GNSO WGs

[Dan Krimm <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In today's call we had a comment from the GAC referring to a listing or
enumeration of public interests, or something to that effect, when
discussing Section 1 of our report (Objective).  I am not familiar with
that GAC output at this time.

While GC opinions may theoretically be of interest here, I would assume
that since GNSO does not report formally to GAC, in this WG we are
certainly not bound formally by any such suggestions or GAC precedents.

So to reiterate my comments on the call, it seems to me that we open a
spurious can of worms and potentially substantial disagreement by making
any attempt to *categorize* the "interests" involved, and that such
categorization is simply unnecessary in order to achieve the goals of the
WG.

This is why I made a suggestion that avoided that terminology altogether by
being specific about exactly what we are talking about, namely protecting
privacy and combatting harmful uses of domains.
