Thanks Susan and team for the thoughtful work. I have a few comments/questions: 1. Registrant v. Admin - should we also point out that generally registrars do collect both Registrant and Admin contact info, but tend only to publish Admin contact info since that is all the RAA requires, and perhaps they should be required to publish both sets of complete contact info? This is also something we can push for in the RAA and further WHOIS working groups. 2. We should also press for reform in the RAA and WHOIS working groups, so that email addresses are required by the RAA. 3. Re section 6, should we also mention need for 'historical WHOIS' services? If there is going to be a centralized database, then it should be comprehensive and cover past records, right?
