From a BC perspective, Philip is correct that we lost the debate.  The concerns about registrars having access to registry data and the harms that can arise around such issues do need to be addressed, in my view.  Therefore I support Philip’s suggestion that the BC submit a recommendation to make the safeguards explicit.  There is also work that still needs to be done on policy around SRSU/SRMU, if my understanding of the Board’s VI resolution is correct.

 

Kind regards,

Re Board resolution

 

It seems we have lost the debate.

Are the Board safeguards sufficient?

Should we work on a paper to make them explicit?
