In any event, we should not be cherry-picking the AoC here. "Consumer trust" is an integral part of those commitments. We should not eviscerate this commitment.
Greg Please not underestimate the difficulty of re-purposing legal terms which have a defined meaning in 27 Countries. For example, in many ccTLDs there is specific language in the Registration Agreement relating to consumers (and by implication consumer trust). Section 1 of the Nominet Registrant Agreement, for example, states ‘consumer' – You are a consumer if you are an individual not registering, using or planning to use the domain name as part of a business, trade or profession. This corresponds to the legal definition. This is really important as it affects consumer rights, and consumer trust throughout the Single Market, and IN PARTICULAR data privacy rights over WHOIS. (I still find it curious that the ICANN community think that its policy development supersedes directly applicable legislation.)
