Perhaps it would have been more precise, but I am happy to leave it as is. The intent was to try to ensure that those who feel that thick is less private than thin have some opportunity to raise the subject. Privacy in relation to whois in general will not be the subject of this PDP (I *HOPE*), so the generic question of who can hide in whois is not on the table.

No concerns, I fully support this as-is. Thanks, Alan.

Is it worth referring to "privacy" concerns as being that of "personal privacy"? I haven't heard anyone, even the privacy advocates amongst us, suggesting that corporate bodies -- especially for-profit and governmental -- be allowed to hide themselves using a thick (or even thin) WHOIS.

Aside from stylistic changes, the only two substantive changes were:

- In sub-item 1, the intent of the statement needed to be clarified as suggested by Eduardo. - Sub-item 3 was added based on a comment I made early in the process with no one disputing it.

Of the other suggestions, they generally were:

- counter to community input in the earlier round of e-mail comments; - supported but did not change what was already in the draft statement; or - were issues related to the substantive discussion of whether the change from thin to thick should be made, the subject of the PDP if one should be started, but was not required in this vetting of the Preliminary Issue Report.

If you have any concerns with this final statement, please contact me.
