[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] A slightly revised proposed approach for reviewing public comments

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi again…, I meant “contactable”, not “contractible” in my below email. Contractible may suggest a completely different context than what I intended. :)

Thanks.

Protection of such users is a problem well beyond online privacy services and would exist exactly in the same manner with or without privacy services. So your argument seems to me like a red herring.

However, less than 2% of all maliciously registered domain names are contractible regardless of the use, or lack of, these services. That is because bad actors will resort to means to hide their contact details regardless of how they choose to set up their domain name registrations. So this study provides some empirical evidence supporting Volker’s reasoning above.
