Hi All, ALAC submitted its comments today -- just thought you might be interested. It has an interesting call to the Review Team: "To reiterate, the ALAC believes that this Review Team, whether embracing or rejecting several related principles, must pronounce its decisions unambiguously. It is our view that this Team must treat with and declare (1) whether the WHOIS construct as originally devised and for the purpose intended is still necessary, (2) whether the WHOIS dataset as originally determined remains fit to its original purpose, and (3) whether the several identifiable uses made of both the WHOIS data and processes that have expanded the original intent are useful and in the public interest." http://forum.icann.org/lists/whoisrt-discussion-paper/pdfnmzuH1VmUy.pdf FYI and best, Kathy --
