[council] RE: Council report required for the Board on the recently approved WHOIS recommendation

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I understand how much consultation has gone into coming up to the  
compromise.  But has the compromise itself been commented on?

In any case, I think that every stage of recommendation and decision  
should be subject to public comment.  so as it moves from the council  
with its responsibility for recommending policy to the board with its  
responsibility for due diligence and for approving policy, i think  
there is a reasonable opportunity for public comment.
