<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">If I run with the arguments I've heard in this thread, there are two main reasons for why we need a WHOIS-like service. One is so that if a domain name causes problems (intentionally or otherwise)
 or has technical issues, there's a point of contact who can be reached. The second argument, the one you have raised, is that there should be some kind of record, like a land title registry, of who owns each domain name. I'll admit I hadn't considered the
 latter before, and I've been reflecting on the idea over the past few days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">In Helsinki at our cross-community session, Jordyn Buchanan from Google said we shouldn't include any requirements where there's another, alternative mechanism to achieve the same result
 in a better way. Applying his suggestion here, there really would seem to be no need to know who owns a domain name, so long as there is a mechanism through which a message can be relayed to the registrant if there is a legitimate need to do so. Do questions
 of domain name ownership not fall within the remit of whatever contract exists between the registrar and the registrant? One of the data elements I suggested collecting was the name of the registrar. I imagine that most registrars retain the billing information
 of their active customers, so if they receive some kind of legal action, they have the capacity to pass this along to the billing contact. Likewise, if law enforcement is investigating something, provided due process is followed they may be able to query the
 billing contact information. However, I remain firmly of the view that such sensitive information should not be free for anyone to query and retrieve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So let point out that the EWG spent a huge amount of time on exactly this use case area to address these very difficult issues and concerns to life and liberty. &nbsp;One reason that this took a lot of time is that the option that Ayden is advocating
 for here that you cannot store ANY personally identifiable data in any place anywhere (paraphrasing, please correct if I’m misinterpreting you here) due to risk of its exposure due to some compromise in the chain (RDS, registry, registrar, P/P service) runs
 counter to one of the *primary* use case building blocks for domain registrants. &nbsp;That primary concept is for a registrant to be able to definitively prove their ownership (or “right to control/use&quot; if you don’t like the concept of “owning” domains) of a domain
 name. &nbsp;Someone has to have that information - the registrar is the base case - in order for the vast, vast majority of domain holders to do things like transfer their domain between registrars, sell the rights to their domain to some other party, obtain domain-related
 services, ensure their domain is not hijacked or can be recovered if it is, etc. &nbsp;So imposing requirements for a minuscule fraction of the domain registrant population in order to handle an uncommon (yet vitally important!) use case is simply disproportional.
 &nbsp;This is a great example of why you develop use cases - to tease out where they conflict, and instead of proscribing solutions up front (in this case not collecting information at all) you explore what the goals are (in this case, making sure that an oppressive
 regime cannot get ahold of the personal information of a dissident that could put that at risk of harm) to see how to solve those while imposing such restrictions on the system that you can’t accomplish other, equal or in this case, far more important goals
 of the system.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So, what did we do on the EWG? &nbsp;We proposed an entire system for dealing with such circumstances and that is explained in section VII b. Secure Protected Credentials Principals on pages 101-108 of the EWG report (<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/final-report-06jun14-en.pdf</span></a>).
 &nbsp;I would refer people with an interest in this topic to that rather detailed section of our report to see a potential way forward on these issues. &nbsp;Since the writing of the EWG report, much more work has occurred within the space of providing anonymous, yet
 verifiable credentialing, particularly with the use of blockchain technologies which are open source, and largely available at very low cost for usage in software products and online services. &nbsp;Domain registration is not the only area where people have this
 sort of interest, and the market, along with the technical community, are responding accordingly. &nbsp;So while this is just one way of solving this use case, and may not be fully fleshed out to the implementation level in the current level of documentation, I
 will posit that when you run into a use case like this that runs counter to many others, there will often be a way to solve it without hampering or invalidating other use cases, particularly fundamental ones.<o:p></o:p></p>

 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

<p><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">As you can see, I have left a few of the fields in Lisa's template for use cases blank. I do not have all the answers, so I would very much welcome your suggestions on how this use case could be strengthened.&nbsp;I'm
 still a little uncertain as to whether we are designing use cases for what the WHOIS protocol is like today (this is an assumption I have gone by in this first draft) or if this is meant to be more like a use case in a dream system instead. I'll revise this
 use case once I understand this exercise a bit better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
