whois is imperfect, like any system.  like RDS will be if it comes to pass.  RDS will just be imperfect in a different way.  i don't agree with some of the rhetoric here on Whois being totally useless or horribly broken.  but that ship may have sailed.  we'll need to understand and consider the unintended consequences of any new system, in our design process.  as a member of the Business Constituency,  there are RDS-related issues related to security and stability and trust in the DNS, issues built into the Mission of ICANN, that are important to me and to other members of the BC, that are beyond the privacy issues that in my initial read seem to dominate the conversation of this working group.  I look forward to bringing those to bear as I have the time and attention to do so.
