They do not understand online advertising, scraping, how algorithms work, what they should look for on their browser, how to protect their machines, what to do with their bluetooth connections, why they should ask their car dealer where their geo-positioning and cell traffic data is shared.....and they certainly do not understand how cybercrime is fought, how reputation systems could harm them, who is harvesting their data, why it matters if an ID theft gang on the other side of the globe has all their personal data.  I can go on for pages about what they don't understand about food safety, water safety, basic health management including immunization, first aid, diet, agricultural practices, chemicals and pesticides used in the home, you name it....anyone who has worked at all in consumer education knows how hard these basic matters are, and how difficult the job has become in our complex, information rich global society.

> The noncommercial users constituency has been trying to make this point since it was formed.  Life is too complex to dump all this on the end user.  There is a fiduciary responsibility here. Cries that an open WHOIS is necessary for consumer protection is, (begging the pardon of all those who have advanced that argument), utter nonsense.  All consumer protection agencies know that in western democracies you have to aim consumer information at a grade 6 reading level.  This job becomes much harder where the           literacy rate is lower, or there are language barriers.  There is a wealth of research on how difficult it is to get basic self protection information into the hands of citizens. Doubtless in the early days, Jon Postel and his pals who appeared in WHOIS understood everything they read in WHOIS, but they were building the Internet with post graduate degrees, not wandering on to it after their day jobs at minimum wage.  And now, with resellers and hosting and lawyers and numbered companies representing the registrants...it is a maze.  It is not responsible to throw people out on that and expect them to manage.  Therefore, where there are fiduciary responsibilities, responsible actors should shoulder them, not foist them off on the end user. Protection of the name address phone number and email of registrants is a pretty basic concept.  REgistrants who are individuals should be contacted through a non-personally identifiable contact email such as abuse at whatever.com.  Phone number is going to have to be a trusted third party.
> 
> As for people selecting only sites that have identifiable registrants....Responsible governments should be legislating e-commerce.  Consumers should be educated not to provide financial information to un-trusted, unauthenticated sites, which is quite different from being able to look up a registrant in a public WHOIS directory.  Payment mechanisms and intermediaries should be accredited, authenticated, and independently verifiable during transactions.  When it comes to free speech, people can read what they read and I don't see a role for ICANN or any of the intermediaries who are discussing the blocking of traffic to interfere.  I recognize that people apparently cannot tell truth from fiction and fantasy but this is a profoundly difficult problem we have grappled with for centuries and I doubt we are going to solve it here....

It's not a question of a minority of big servers and a majority of registrants; it's more of a minority of registrants and a majority of end-users that will vote with their feet whether they like it or not. But since the Internet is older than 21 years, I believe we can leave the choice to free will of all parties involved.

Medical clinics of all kinds, suicide prevention centres, women's shelters, hotlines, etc.  There is a big difference between refusing to accept a call if you don't recognize the name on the display, (bearing in mind that caller ID does not block the                       core, just the display) and rejecting all traffic through a server if it is not identified.  Noone is suggesting that tiered access would not be possible here.

The Internet has become the backbone of global commerce, and if you think that maxim will                       last then who am I to argue.  You guys are running the system and if those of us who think it is unfair to end users don't like it, we can always go back to the postal service (for a few years at least, until it gets replaced by drones operated through the Internet....)

I sure wouldn’t want someone to force me to do so just because they feel they should be able to reach me even if they refuse to tell me who they are.

Hypothetical scenario: default is not being publicly-listed, and then people start blocking domains massively. In such a scenario, registrants that want more reach and trust from end-users, might want to consent to being publicly-listed. As long as lack of consent doesn't prevent service from contracted parties, it might be useful and I think we should consider this angle when time comes in the PDP.

I doubt that a consent process will suffice by itself in solving access issues but it is certainly one avenue that the letter pointed out as a possible avenue.  I think we will need to explore that further when we deliberate on access.  For now, let’s focus on purposes and in particular Domain Name                                             Management as a purpose.

The references to previous notices make it very clear that there will be no  consideration given after that date. While the letter contains nothing new to anyone who has paid any attention, it is very clear in its message: Public Whois is illegal in its current shape and form, and there is no way to make it legal without making it non-public.
