Hello all, Attached is a draft gap analysis relating to WHOIS data accuracy. As with the accessibility/privacy section, I have not had time to cover all the issues, complete all the analyses, balance all the arguments, and so on in this first draft. However, I hope that it has enough structure and shape to encourage comment, debate, and input as we prepare for Marina del Rey. One issue I've struggled with is the structure. As you've seen, I've basically broken the gap analysis in two (privacy/access and accuracy) because: * these two areas seemed to attract the most comment from our stakeholders; * they are clearly drawn out as issues in the AoC provisions on WHOIS; and * many of the other 'gaps' we initially identified seem to be sub-components of these two broader issues or to be closely linked to them. Now that there is a draft in this form, I'm hoping that others will comment on whether this structure will allow us to sensibly cover all the gaps or if there is a better way to pull the pieces together.
