I believe that Beau is saying that legitimate proxy services are OK but that there must be a path to lead to a real source.
Yes, that's what CR WebWatch is saying, and me, too. Thanks once again for your eloquence, Evan.
Thank you. This is good to know, and, from my personal perspective, it's a fine compromise position. I might go a step further and say more than just that "proxy services are OK," to saying that "ICANN should not prevent legitimate proxy services." The privacy comments I made on the list were simply to underscore the importance of leaving room for the privacy interests. As background, you should know that ICANN's sizable and well-funded intellectual property constituency, among other business interests, believe that they should have the ability to get the real name, address, phone number and email address of a domain name registrant, in real time, without going through a proxy service or any process at all, 'due' or otherwise ;-). -- Bret
