Hi All, Happy New Year again! Bill has inspired me - there are issues we should be looking at now, in preparation for London, rather than waiting for the meeting. Emily and I selected key areas from the Agenda that would benefit from advanced planning. They are substantive and speaker agenda items (all speakers have asked for questions on which they can prepare their presentations). Would everyone please select one item below (two, if you feel inspired)? Please take a look at whatever background materials you deem appropriate, and prepare a draft to share with the list. Nothing fancy needed: paragraphs, bullet points, rough ideas. Whatever you provide will give us something to work from - a rough draft. I propose 1/11 as the deadline - and then a day or two to comment as a group (and then send on to the speakers). Again, rough draft for discussion purposes is the goal.... a starting point to our discussion in London! Here's the list of subjects. Please let me and Emily know (on or off list) what you would like to volunteer for. Tx you! I. Definitions - a working set of definitions, background, scope (see initial ideas in Agenda): 1. A. Producers of Whois Data _____________ (Volunteer(s)) 2. B. Law Enforcement _____________ (Volunteer(s)) 3. C. Consumers and Consumer Trust _____________ (Volunteer(s)) 4. D. Applicable laws _____________ (Volunteer(s)) II. Questions - for Speakers (to help them organize their presentations to our needs): 5. A.
