                      <div>Hello all,</div>
                      <div><font><br>

                      <div>I would like to introduce an additional use
                        case. This is just a rough draft for now, and I
                        welcome your feedback on how this use case can
                        be strengthened. </div>
                      <div><font><br>
                        </font></div>
                      <div>The scenario is: a dissident group launches a
                        website to bring important news and information
                        to the public. They register their domain name
                        in a foreign nation and do not want law
                        enforcement, or other parties, to be able to
                        identify the website’s administrators,
                        management, and/or sources of information. If
                        this information was made known, their
                        publishing could be silenced and their sources
                        and contributors could suffer harm. The
                        registrant is not aware of the existence of
                        privacy proxy services at the time they register
                        their domain name.</div>
                      <div><font><br>
                        </font></div>
                      <div><b>Misuse Case:</b> The RDS could be used by
                        State actors or other
                        parties to identify members of or contributors
                        to the dissident group, and this
                        could result in their voices being silenced
                        through legal, political, or
                        physical means.</div>
                      <div><font><br>
                        </font></div>
                      <div><b>Main Misuse Case: </b>An actor is unhappy
                        that a website in a
                        country is publishing material that speaks
                        unfavourably about a given topic.
                        They wish to launch political and legal attacks
                        to silence the website’s
                        publishers and to alter the narrative of the
                        historical record on this topic.
                        They thus utilise the RDS to identify a contact
                        of someone involved in the
                        administration of this website, with the view of
                        torturing or otherwise
                        extracting from this contact the names and
                        contact details of contributors to
                        the dissenting website. As the registrant does
                        not subscribe to a privacy proxy service
                        (possibly because of limited financial
                        resources, or lack of awareness that such a
                        service exists), their contact details have been
                        permanently published into the public record and
                        their privacy is thus permanently breached. As a
                        result the RDS threatens the ability of
                        dissenting voices
                        to exercise their inalienable rights in an
                        online environment. </div>

                      <ul style="font-size:small">
                        <li>A requestor accesses the RDS to obtain
                          information

                          associated with the domain name, which may
                          include a name and physical address
                          of the registrant.</li>
                        <li>The requestor
                          passes the extracted information on to a third
                          party who visits the physical
                          address of the contact. The registrant suffers
                          physical harm as a result of the
                          RDS and no longer feels comfortable using the
                          Internet to convey to the public
                          important information.</li>

                        without interference and to seek, receive, and
                        impart information and ideas
                        through any media and regardless of frontiers.
                        These principles must be upheld
                        in the RDS. An RDS that contains any
                        personally-identifiable information would
                        threaten
                        these very freedoms. Accordingly, the RDS must
