We discussed this point in London as one of the first items on the agenda
and came to the conclusion, that we have a clear definition from ICANN:

Whois is a "timely, unrestricted and public access to accurate and
complete information, including registrant, technical, billing, and
administrative contact information."

If we take this point deeply serious, we do not need a subgroup of
(inter)national law as well a subgroup of law enforcement definition,
because we only have a mandate to check the current policies how they
support the requirement above.

Please forgive me, that I expressed my personal view outside this group and
informed you about it.
