<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jim and All,<br>
We like and appreciate the word "alleged" before unproven
allegations - thank you. The reordering is good. A few additional
updates:<br>
- The title of "maintenance" means different things to technical
groups and lawyer groups. Basic registration issues are not
generally <br>
maintenance" issues, so they are now broken out further.<br>
<br>
- Whether "commercial entities" should be barred from
proxy/privacy remains a misleading question. As we have discussed,
all larger noncommercial organizations are "incorporated as a way
to obtain insurance and other liability protections (or even as a
threshold requirement to become a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charity
in the US). You should not have to be a lawyer to understand this
subtlety or to understand the implications of this question - so
it is broken out below. <br>
<br>
- Similarly, the issue of publication should be flagged - the
publication of the contact data in the open Whois , and not just
available to the requestor, is one to make clear.<i><br>
<br>
</i><i>Updates below in italics.<br>
<br>
</i>With the good work of the WG, we recommend these changes be
percolated across all the documents we are working on and
releasing - to SGs, ACs, SOs, etc. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Kathy<br>
