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

Milton,

You are quoting 2.2

I beleive that 2.1 contains quite an array of
what the GAC labels as "legitimate activities" .
Interestingly, ISPs are mentioned therein.

The users whose privacy concerns you so much,
also need protection (and quick and efficient
response from parties such as those the GAC
mentions), from all the scams and cybercrime
activities which I would suggest can do much
more harm to an individual, than having his
registrant contact data exposed? After all,
a registrant has the choice to register a
domain and be required to submit his data,
but no option where it comes to people
who want to empty his bank account? They
will turn up in his inbox whether he is a
domain registrant or not?
