[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Principle on Proportionality for "Thin Data"access

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Again, I really think we need to dial down the level of sarcasm here. 
The proportionality proposal was made in good faith.

However, I'm from a privacy advocacy organization and even I have agreed
that there are operational problems with any proposal to limit
unauthenticated access to thin WHOIS data.  I agree that while privacy
is an absolutely key principle to be upheld, so is the generativity of
the Internet, and that unauthenticated access to thin WHOIS data, much
of which just replicates the information that end users make available
through their own nameservers, is part of the permissionless innovation
that underpins many real world Internet applications.
