seems so. With great respect Greg, I think you are turning
this case on its head. Yes, WHOIS has been and likely will
continue to be a useful source of info for identifying
perpetrators of abuse. We don't need a separate case for each
type of abuse (child porn, selling counterfeit goods, post
intimate relationship hassment, etc etc). This use case
identified the risk that abusers will get the data they need
to abuse from the WHOIS. Lets be clear, investigators of
abuse can go to the registrar. It is not as if this data
suddenly becomes unavailable if it is not publicly displayed.
It is just not available so readily. And that, as Martha might
say, is a good thing.</font></font></p>

("WHOIS misused to shame, anger or scare a registrant")
suggests a potential gap or at least a counter-case ("WHOIS
used to find those posting personally identifiable information
to shame, anger or scare a registrant"'). As Case 19 posits,
this involves posting information on the Internet. In many
cases, the information is posted on websites using domains
registered for such purpose, or sent using email addresses
using domains registered for that purpose. WHOIS data is an
important and much-used tool in determining the identity of
those disseminating the PII under those circumstances.</div>

experience with this. When my client was the victim of a
doxing attack (and this involved publishing confidential
documents, not merely publicly available contact information),
WHOIS data was critical in tracking down the identity of the
individuals responsible. There was much more to it, but the
WHOIS data was the first lead in the chain. Without that
data, the results may have been quite different.</div>

<div class="gmail_default"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Rather
than drafting a whole new use case, I think that this use
case is similar enough to existing use cases 06, 09, 21 and
22 to point to those cases for more detail. I would point
in particular to use case 21's statement that "telltales
may be found in resources used to register the domain" which
in turn lead to other information necessary to move forward.
"Telltales" may also be found in information that is not
completely accurate. This point should not be lost -- WHOIS
records can reveal telltales and "breadcrumbs" even when the
information is not a bald-faced registration in the name of
the "miscreant" (as use case 22) put its.</font></div>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
To address the following action item:<br>
<br>
<b><i>Action item</i></b>: WG members to review example
use cases and
identify any gaps that should be filled - preferably
volunteering to
draft and present them<br>
<br>
Example use cases identified by this WG to date are listed
below and
can be found here:

EWG Report - Example Use Case and Related Data

Contact staff if you would like to a copy of any EWG draft

<br>
As we are trying to examine a representative but not
exhaustive set of
examples prior to deliberation (see
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

if you believe that a different
and important example is missing from the above table,
please raise that
gap to the WG's attention.<br>
