Stephanie,

Thanks for your opinion. Identifying problems is a part of what we must do here (or anywhere for that matter). Creating solutions is another big part, and ultimately the one that defines our success.

I like to say to that lawyers are in the solutions business, unless they want to act like they are in the problems business. I think that has wide applicability beyond the legal profession, and particularly in the making of policy.

Best,

Greg

I think we certainly agree on your comment below Greg. Having recently worked on the WHOIS conflicts with law implementation group, I would suggest that the practical problems which the RAA data collection, disclosure, and retention requirements place on Registrars are a significant source of practical problems for them and for the end users whose rights are being insufficiently respected. Some of us regard the advice that ICANN has received from the EU commissioners on these matter as best practice. I am in that group.
cheers Stephanie
