Hi James, and Sarmad Thank you both for this contribution, which I think captures the discussion we had this morning. I propose to take Sarmad's amended version for insertion into the public comment document, unless I hear any contrary views by 0800 UTC tomorrow (Thursday). We can then publish the Call for Public Comment, which would be greatly appreciated. Well done everyone. Kind regards Emily On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Dr. Sarmad Hussain <sarmad@cantab.net>wrote:
Ok, though with minor wording adjustments; see below.

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.

*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.
