May I suggest that we add it to our already overflowing list of important documents?
I don't object, but I'm wondering whether there is really anything new in most of the additional documents people are bringing. It seems to me that we have a fundamental question we're going to have to answer. I know that we've decided that now is not the time for deliberation, so I don't encourage discussion about this question. But I'm decreasingly convinced that more material is going to help us come to any decision about balancing the desire of some, on one side, to have a lot of personally identifying information about domain name registrants; and the desire of others to ensure that such personally identifying information is protected on privacy grounds. We can probably continue to find additional examples of people insisting they need one or the other of these, but I do not really see any way that more evidence that someone really really wants one of them (with all the attendant arguments rehearsed) is going to help us come to a conclusion.
