ICANN posted a Study<http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/cmu-misuse-study-26nov13-en...> on Whois Misuse.
Back in 2009 the BC prompted this study to learn whether "*Public access to WHOIS data leads to a measurable degree of misuse – that is, to actions that cause actual harm, are illegal or illegitimate, or otherwise contrary to the stated legitimate purpose.*"
We discussed this study on our 5-Dec member call. Three BC members volunteered to review and draft comments on the study (Jimson Olufuye, Susan Kawaguchi, John Berard).
As discussed on our 9-Jan call, their proposed comment is brief and should be easy for members to do an expedited review before ICANN's due date of 18-Jan-2014.
So please review the attached and REPLY ALL with your comments or objections before 18-Jan-2014.
Thanks again to Jimson, Susan, and John for stepping-up to this.
Best, Steve DelBianco Vice chair for policy coordination
