[gnso-rds-pdp-purpose] Additional Information/question

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi Marika and All,
I think my concerns run to (iii) and (v) below as the limitations of 
certain documents (especially ones people refer to often) have 
definitely been a part of the discussion of this subgroup.  I would note 
that certain document in the summaries already contain some red 
highlighted notes, and I would like to request that similar notes be 
added *within our summary* of the Whois Review Team Final Report and 
within our subgroup report to the full WG. Here are the bullet points 
you requested (tx for asking!):

- The Whois Review Team was///expressly barred //from looking at the 
purpose of the Whois system/. It was allowed to look only at ICANN's 
"existing policy relating to WHOIS" per the Affirmation of Commitments 
signed between US Department of Commerce and ICANN in 2009.

- Even within that scope, the Whois Review Team Final Report expressly 
recommended protection of privacy for commercial companies, 
noncommercial organizations and individuals (finding that each shared 
with us legal and legitimate reasons for privacy including 
as-yet-unannounced mergers, new movie names, unpopular religious, ethnic 
and policy views, etc).

- The Whois Review Team Final Report advised ICANN to work towards a 
standard of "contactability" /- reaching the registrant by //some 
//means rather than //all means /- which we wrote as: "ICANN should take 
appropriate measures to reduce the number of WHOIS registrations that 
fall into the accuracy groups Substantial Failure and Full Failure (as 
defined by the NORC Data Accuracy Study, 2009/10..." p. 87.

We were tasked with conveying to the full WG our understanding of 
"purpose" as guided by these documents - and these notes add key 
insights and understandings to it (as we shared many times in presenting 
this Final Report to ICANN in 2012).

Best,
Kathy
