    <p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">Gentlemen, with great
          respect, I think you are being a bit hard on Ayden here. If,
          as our next-gen rep here on the group, he were not questioning
          authority, I might be afraid he had somehow &quot;missed the
          memo&quot;.  I think the tone has become a bit accusatory on both
          sides and we should de-escalate.  I agree that we must be
          exceedingly careful about putting words in each others
          mouths.  However, questioning the efficacy of oversight of
          police data protection compliance is fair game in my view and
          in the view of most privacy scholars (Korff, Brown, Bennett
          and Raab, Anderson etc.).  Diana Alonso Blass (who came to
          ICANN in 2003 or 04 representing the Article 29 Working Party)
          and now of Eurojust speaks regularly on some of these issues
          at the data protection commissioners&#39; annual conference and at
          CPDP and there can be heated debate.  Oversight of law
          enforcement, particularly cross border law enforcement, is
          difficult just as the actual law enforcement is difficult. 
          There are many reasons for this:</font></font></p>
    <ul>
      <li><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">law enforcement
            authorities have (legitimate) exemptions under data
            protection law for collection use and disclosure, making it
            easy to accidently abuse that discretion <br>
          </font></font></li>
      <li><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">Data protection
            authorities frequently choose to direct enforcement actions
            in other areas, given the constant shortage of resources and
            the publicity (reaching political uproar at times)  that can
            come with enforcement against police<br>
          </font></font></li>
      <li><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">governments often
            take a dim view of data protection commissioners who go
            after the police (I can cite examples if you wish but I
            realize noone wants to read an article on the difficulties

          Given the global nature of law enforcement in our subject
          area, and the perceived failure of certain instruments such as
          the Cybercrime treaty, and the general shock and outrage

          cross border data sharing, I think it is reasonable to
          question assertions of compliance with data protection law.
          You will find the list of witnesses in the appendix.  Jacob

                                                sources, but the
                                                promotional literature
                                                on the Europol website
                                                suggests Europol agents
                                                searching for
                                                publicly-available
                                                ‘terror manuals’ or
                                                criminals claiming
                                                credit for attacks.
                                                There is no indication

                                                Europol trawling through

                                                records to identify the
                                                administrator of a
                                                website, something far
                                                less sinister. And if
                                                the RDS evolves into
                                                something very different
                                                from what it is today –

                                                or federated into a
                                                single data store – my
                                                understanding is that
                                                the routing of
                                                information from a
                                                private party to Europol

                                <p>Dear Rob, <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p> <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>Thanks for sharing the outcome of
                                  your chat with ex-FBI and UK LEA
                                  agents. I feel that I need to step in
                                  to provide a different perspective
                                  than the one you just gave on the law
                                  enforcement use of the WHOIS. It might
                                  be a matter of interpretation but the
                                  views expressed by your interlocutors
                                  are not shared by my colleagues
                                  working throughout European police
                                  cyber divisions.
                                  <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p> <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>If European cyber investigators are
                                  obviously all aware of the fact that
                                  WHOIS registration data can sometime
                                  be inaccurate and not up-to-date
                                  (ICANN compliance reported that for
                                  the first quarter of 2015, WHOIS
                                  inaccuracy comprised 74.0 % of
                                  complaints), in 90% of cases they will
                                  start their investigations with a
                                  WHOIS lookup. This is really the first
                                  step.
                                  <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p> <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>Despite the lack of accuracy, WHOIS
                                  information is useful in so many
                                  different ways. One of the first them
                                  is to make correlations and link
                                  pieces of information obtained through
                                  other means than from the WHOIS. This
                                  was the point I tried to make on
                                  Tuesday during the conference call. <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p> <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>Accurate and reliable WHOIS data
                                  helps crime attribution and can save
                                  precious investigation time (you can
                                  rule out wrong investigative leads).
                                  <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>It raises the bar and makes it more
                                  difficult for criminals to abuse
                                  domain names. It pushes them to resort
                                  to more complex techniques such as ID
                                  theft to register domains for
                                  malicious purposes.<u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p> <u></u><u></u></p>
                                <p>In short, for LEA WHOIS is certainly
                                  not the silver bullet to attribute
                                  crime on line but it is an essential
                                  tool in the tool box of law
                                  enforcement.<u></u><u></u></p>
