<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">David — thanks for that suggestion. Here’s my reaction for you and the drafters of this comment:</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">The whole point of this study was to test the validity of claims by privacy advocates that misuse of public Whois was responsible for spam, harassment, and other abuse of registrants. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">First, we should say that this latest study does
<u>not</u> document abuse arising from public access, so there is no justification to limit public access.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">Second, we can claim that any restrictions on whois access that might be contemplated should nonetheless preserve access by any party needing to know the identity of who controls
a domain where there is evidence of actionable harm.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">ICANN posted a <a href="http://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/cmu-misuse-study-26nov13-en.pdf" target="_blank">Study</a> on Whois Misuse. </span><span style="color:black;"></span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">Back in 2009 the BC prompted this study to learn whether "<i>Public access to WHOIS data leads to a measurable degree of misuse – that is, to actions that cause actual harm, are
illegal or illegitimate, or otherwise contrary to the stated legitimate purpose.</i>"</span><span style="color:black;"></span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">As discussed on our 9-Jan call, their proposed comment is brief and should be easy for members to do an expedited review before ICANN's due date of 18-Jan-2014.</span><span style="color:black;"></span></p>
