[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Company Disclosures - Irish Case

[Volker Greimann]

Hi Barry,

this should be seen in the context of the demands for differentiation 
based upon use of the website, i.e. transactional vs. non-transactional.
Whois has no additional benefit for domains used for websites where the 
ownership information has to be displayed anyway. Hence privacy is more 
than appropriate for such domains.
