Danny and all, I don't read or interprate the link below in quite the same way you do Danny, but also I think given some other of CIRA's statements they pander regarding privacy yet allow third party access to PII in Whois. Ergo, I see, as doe our members especially those in Canada, that CIRA is playing both ends against the middle. This is of course an old and well known political stratagy that usually ends up creating more disharmony, significant lack of accountability, and serious damage to stakeholders, whomever they may be or in which juandra is involved. ICANN, GNSO, and the GAC's desire for more studies is seemingly seeks to break the privacy issues instead of stalling, by continuing to have more Working groups, studies, ect., ect. This also is yet another old and failed political stratagy that also largely and usually serves no harmonious of productive ends due to the lack of creditable means. The only primary ligitimate concern is once or accuracy in Whois data, not one of whom has access to PII in whois. Yet the accuracy problem is being used as a wedge issue to rehash the latter privacy issue. Very childish in my and many of our members opinion. -----Original Message-----

P.S.

... While Canada's CIRA respects WHOIS privacy concerns, ICANN's GNSO and GAC play the "we need more studies" game in order to stall responsible policy development.
