See the GAC Communique from Helsinki for their input on the Privacy & Proxy Services PDP recommendations.
When reading a GAC Communique, is it only me that automagically undoes their search-and-replace between "advises" and "demands" whilst desperately trying to filter out the subliminal message "you will obey" that's carefully hidden between each line ? I have no doubt that there will come a policy relating to P&P Services, but it can and will only ever be applicable to those directly provided by Registrars and Registries, and likely prove counter-productive in the long-run. There will never be an absolute connection between the Registrant and the beneficiary/operator/user of a domain, just like there is no absolute connection between who is currently inside a building and who is listed as owning the land it sits on.
I sort of alluded to this in my original remarks. This is also part of the reason why I think the entire "accurate whois data" shuffle is such an absurd waste of time.
Partly because every group-with-an-agenda has a very different definition of what they think the word "accurate" means :) Rob -- Rob Golding rob.golding@astutium.com Astutium Ltd, Number One Poultry, London. EC2R 8JR * domains * hosting * vps * servers * cloud * backups *
