Study Suggestion Number 12

[study-suggestion-response@xxxxxxxxx]

Submitted By:
[Redacted for privacy reasons]

Topic:
A. In which way can privacy sensitive information of private persons be 
secured, while law enforcers have at the same time a proportional access which 
does justice to the international complications that Whois registrations bring 
with it for law enforcement.
2. How can Whois registrations become more false proof?

Hypothesis:


How the hypothesis could be falsified:


Utility:
The better the data in Whois is and a proportional access is assured the less 
the need for strict rules for access will be.

Type of Study Needed:
An inventory of requirements on the privacy side as well as on the enforcement 
side, a comparison of such and conclusions which lead to a middle way.
What is needed to make Whois registrations better and how can they be checked?

Data that needs to be collected:
Research into: proportionality; needs of law enforcers; what data is necessary 
in Whois?; what data needs to be checked/checkable at registration?; which 
terms of contract on breaches of contract, e.g. on misuse between 
registrars/registrees and costumer have to be in place to make the internet a 
safer palce for end users?

Population to be surveyed:
Law enfocers; data protection agencies; registrars/registrees; end users 
organisations
