Thanks Kristina. Apparently that redaction feature is a straightforward algorithm in email but is more complex to employ to delete partial portions of text in an on-line form. I'm sure it could be mastered nonetheless. I was excited to get the online form working given time deadlines and opted for prudence and expediency. -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Rosette, Kristina Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 1:29 PM To: liz.gasster@icann.org; Thomas Keller Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] Whois study suggetsions Steve DelBianco submitted them on behalf of NetChoice. He gave me permission to REVEAL and asked that I let you all know he is happy to answer any questions anyone may have about the study proposals. Liz, I know that some - but not all - of my contact information is redacted when I post to the Council list from my Blackberry (which has that pesky automatic e-signature). Perhaps the method used there could be cross applied here? -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of liz.gasster Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 12:13 PM To: 'Thomas Keller' Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] Whois study suggetsions Hi Tom, Yes, I take your overall point! As to the details of how this came about, the answer has more of a technical reason, not so much a policy rationale. I wanted to solicit full reach information (which is not usually the case for public comments) so that I could follow up and ask clarifying questions if need be, without revealing all info to the world, but couldn't separate the "name and affiliation" from the reach info, so we opted to blank out all from the public view. I guess I'll operate like an OPOC in this case...I will RELAY but not REVEAL!
