Hello again all -

Sam and Erica, many thanks for responding so quickly to the Doodle.

Rob, Fab, Brian, Benjamin, please be sure to respond to the Doodle no later than end of your Saturday:

If possible, let's get started on this team's task in advance of our kickoff call next week.

Please start by reviewing the action item and template for this team:

If you have any questions about our assignment, raise them by replying to this message.

You'll see definitions from the EWG Report included in the template for easy reference, but this team is free to re-use all, part, or none of that EWG text in fleshing out a purpose definition for Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale.

To kick off discussion, I invite each of you to consider the EWG's definitions and reply to this list with any observations based on your own experiences. How closely do the EWG's definitions reflect your own experiences with Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale?

- What's missing?
- What's confusing?
- What really needs to be fleshed out?

In considering this purpose definition, please try to set aside any opinions you may already have about the legitimacy of Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale as a specific purpose for registration data or directory services. Please also do not limit yourself to WHOIS as it is implemented today or to the minimum public data set previously agreed by this WG. Those of you who are experienced with Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale, please aim to educate the rest of this team about this purpose. Those who have not been directly involved with Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale in the past, please ask any questions you may have about this purpose. The better we can all understand what is meant by this purpose, the more effective our future WG deliberations can be.

Thanks all for volunteering to assist with this action item -

Best, Lisa
Drafting Team 4 Coordinator
