Ok, though with minor wording adjustments; see below.

Subject: [Rt4-whois] Proposed Definition: "Consumer"

Team:

As discussed during our call, here is the proposed bifurcated definition of "consumer" for inclusion in our call for comments. It has been chopped up a bit for readability, but I did endeavor to preserve the overall meaning.

I've also modified the "Feedback Requested" to be more open ended.

Thoughts / feeedback?  I'm off to bed now, but will check back in a few hours.

Thanks--

J.

In the global sense, "consumer" may mean:

 * All Internet users including natural persons, commercial and non-commercial entities, government and academic entities,

And specifically within the context of this review, a "consumer" w.r.t. WHOIS data and Whois Service may mean:

* Any consumer that acts as a  Producer of WHOIS data  (see above), Maintainer of WHOIS data and Provider of Whois Service (e.g. Registrars), and User of WHOIS data (e.g.    individuals, commercial or non-commercial entities who legitimately query the WHOIS data.).

Feedback request from community

Community feedback is desired on the WHOIS Review Team's approach to this definition.  Is it too broad or too restrictive?  In either case, how should it be changed.
