Re: "So how do we balance the interests of the small and individual registrants as well as that of the consumer, as both are our constituents?" (1) We begin by acknowledging that we have no consensus on the topic even after six year's worth of sustained discussion on the topic within ICANN. (2) Because there is no consensus to bind the registrars to a given policy, we release the registrars from their obligations pertaining to the display of WHOIS data in the RAA. (3) We allow the market forces to shape the end result. Ultimately the market will act to protect both commercial and private interests. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends. Drama queens.
