Dear Valentina, thanks for this excellent contribution. As you mention, the public comment period is open until end of business day today... I really do not know why the ALAC comment period also closes on the same day - but this is all coming in at the very last moment. I have CC'ed Holly Raiche & Carlton Samuels (as well as ALAC Chair Alan Greenberg & ALAC Policy Staff) to see if your organisation's comments can be taken into account, perhaps with ALAC asking for a few more days from Mary Wong in order to formulate a response. Alas I have no say in the matter / process or substance. :-) Kindest regards, Olivier ps. my thoughts about the matter of WHOIS Privacy & Proxy is that WHOIS has become inappropriate for the task it is asked to perform. I am flabbergasted that the work of the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services, published on https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ewg-recommends-a-replacement-for-whois is actually not being taken into account. It would save a lot of time from volunteers wasting time with WHOIS privacy/proxy now. On 07/07/2015 17:46, Valentina Pavel /ApTI wrote:
Dear At-Large Community Members,
Please find attached ApTI's comment regarding ICANN's WHOIS privacy/proxy services proposal.
We believe the new policy presents a serious danger to freedom of speech, privacy and to the rule of law on the Internet and we urge ICANN not to adopt this proposal.
We are also working on publishing a summary of our comment.
The public comment period is open until *7 Jul 2015 23:59 UTC. <http://http://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboututc.html>*
Thank you,
