hi 

-   I agree that it should be available to all.
- I agree that the whois should be the same.

With regards to the issue below (raised by Michele) around using someone else’s Whois P/P details and just faking them in, here are my thoughts:

- people that do this are quite obviously not using the P/P service, and have just stolen it.  Any registrar can tell this instantly, and a complaint about the name would reveal that immediately.  Therefore, the registrant would be violating a number of rules around having true and accurate whois info.  Basically, they are supplying this info directly to the registrar and there is no ‘underlying’ true data.  it’s all fake and the domain name can be dealt with accordingly.  Plus the fact the the email forwarding is not going to work for them for most P/P services means they are going to end up losing important compliance notices as well.  And further, most of this should have been taken care of by the Registrant Verification rules in the 2013 RAA.
- we don’t really need an extra field approved to be added to the Whois. IMO this is making unnecessary work for ourselves.  The RAA already allows a registrar to add additional terms at the bottom of the Whois record.  This cannot be faked.  So a registrar could very easily put in language on any domain using P/P services information around it.  I am not even sure we should require this or have a policy for it.  It’s more like a Best Practice to me and would be a way of distinguishing reputable P/P services against poor ones.

I think manipulating the Whois records is just making a bunch of extra work for us that we don’t really need to do.

John - yes
I am probably opening up a can of worms with this and maybe this isn't the best group to discuss this, but there is very little at present to stop someone from using someone else's details for things without their permission or knowledge ..

As to the questions posed by Steve pertaining to C.3:
  1. As you know, we believe p/p services should be available to commercial entities, unless and until the domain name is actively used for the sale of goods or services. So, we are a "partial yes" on commercial entities. 
  2. However, in direct answer to Steve's question, for p/p domain name registration for commercial entities not using the domain name for commercial transactions, we agree with Luc, Volker, Michele and (I think) everyone so far that the data in the Whois record should be consistent, irrespective of whether it is a non-commercial registrant or a commercial registrant.  
As to a flag, I think Kathy is correct that we have agreed that accredited p/p providers should identify themselves in the "registrant" line of the Whois record, and I assume this could be checked against an approved p/p provider ICANN list. However, Michele's point is an interesting one. We have seen instances in which a registrant is, without approval, putting, say, GoDaddy's or eNom's p/p Whois information into the Whois field (and being registered with an entirely different registrar). If I understand Michele's point, a flag here -- presumably only insertable by the registrar (not the registrant) -- would help to identify instances in which the p/p service is legitimately being used. Michele, is that the idea?

I share the questions James is raising.  All, I thought we already agreed that accredited p/p providers have to identify themselves in the "Registrant line" of the Whois listing. So that it is obvious to someone reviewing the Whois record what they are seeking, and who to contact for the underlying customer information.  In that case, do we still need a new flag?

Best,
Kathy
:
Are we talking about a new kind of status?  I think any flag would have to be in the data field itself.  The P/P provider cannot create a new field for the “flag” or set /clear flags in WHOIS.  That’s the Registrar.
 
For example, if there is some future equivalent to IANA ID numbers for P/P services, they should append this to their name in WHOIS.

Would you have an issue with there being an extra "flag" to indicate that a domain was using a PP?

Agreed. 

1) There is no compelling reason to exclude potentially legal use of privacy services. 
2) The service provided essentially remains the same, therefore no differentiation in the whois output is necessary.

Personally I think two things:
1 – P/P services should be open to anyone who wants to use them
2 – the display in whois should be the same no matter who or what has registered the domain
 
With respect to point 2, I don’t have any issue with there being a “flag” of some kind to indicate that a registration record is using an accredited P/P

Thanks to all participants on today’s call.  Following up on requests made on the call ----
 
Regarding Don’s draft preliminary text regarding questions C(threshold), C 1 and C2, please circulate your comments and (especially welcomed!) proposed edits.  Don’s draft is re-attached here for ready reference.
 
Regarding question C.3:  If the following applies to you, please respond on the list:
 
IF you believe that privacy/proxy services ought to be open to commercial entities under some circumstances, THEN should there be a difference in the data displayed for such registrations (vs. what is displayed for p/p registrations by natural persons)?  If the answer is YES, please specify the differences.  
 
For myself I will say that my answer is NO, but I hope that any YES people will step forward on the list. 
 
Thanks!
