[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] The States are Getting into the Act

Hi,

I am sorry if my previous mail came over a bit harsh.

I appreciate that your background may be different from mine and the 
situation in India may be different from the one in Europe. I take issue 
with your suggestion that my horizon is limited by my origin though as I 
have travelled and lived abroad quite a lot as well. I also take issue 
with the continuous attempts to attempt to regulate content and abusive 
use of the internet through domain names.

That aside and back to the topic though, I absolutely refuse to 
compromise on issues of legal obligations and rights of both service 
providers and those that they serve. As ICANN policy may not violate 
national or international law, the requirements of the country with the 
most protective privacy laws must form the basis for our deliberations. 
Anything less than that maximum would put service providers in a 
position where they may have to violate applicable law. If you in India 
feel that German privacy laws go to far, that is just too bad, but that 
is what is the law for us and therefore the measure that I will apply to 
any suggestion made in this group. If that does not serve your national 
security needs, I am sorry but whois policy was never intended to serve 
national or regional security needs. Just like the presumption of 
innocense means that some criminals will get away with it, the 
protection of individual privacy rights will mean certain data will not 
be accessible, no matter how desperately some security agencies want it.

If we compare it to another recent issue, I believe Apple was absolutely 
right to refuse the demands made by the FBI.

I am confident that we as a working group will be able to achieve a 
consensus position, however this will only be possible if this 
discussion is devoid of attempts to regulate the internet. Replacing 
whois with a new system is a daunting task already, let us not make it 
impossible. Unlike a democracy, the majority does not decide the outcome 
of a PDP, we need consensus. That aside, I am confident that the 
majority of the group opposes the suggestions you have made.

Best regards,

Volker
