<div>During last 2 BC member calls and in the 3-Oct email below, we called for volunteers to draft a BC comment on the new independent <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-pp-abuse-study-24sep13-en.htm&k=ZVNjlDMF0FElm4dQtryO4A%3D%3D%0A&r=cjstkpAuvAi4gqeqX5O18A%3D%3D%0A&m=atI2B5DOYETcLTekAtbBjynVr5U9M6KiyK3%2FR5ojU7s%3D%0A&s=8ae41b24259025e32cf78a20f7e0c14b4b25c12c6f2aaaef26bcb0aa67abd1f3">Study</a> of
