Please see the note from Steve Metalitz below.

Personally I share Steve’s concerns. An opt out from WHOIS, just when we’re looking towards the Review Teams report to cure many of the ills associated with WHOIS doesn’t sit well.

Please let me know if you would oppose the ISPCP offering support for the IPC position.

Subject: FW: Reconsideration request from IPC regarding .CAT Whois

Tony and Marilyn,

IPC believes that the ICANN Board approval of .cat’s request to “opt out” of public access to Whois sets a terrible precedent on a number of accounts and violates the Affirmation of Commitments.  Accordingly we have made a formal reconsideration request to the Board Governance Committee (please see attached and below).  We would welcome any support that either of your constituencies could provide in this effort.  Please let me know if you have questions. 

Steve Metalitz, IPC president
