<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">I am not sure how we
get to this discussion. What I am saying, is that the purpose
of collecting data has to be linked to ICANN's core mission.
AS Peter said a while ago, is the core mission to enable law
enforcement investigations? No. It is a legitimate purpose to
use or disclose limited sets of data as required in accordance
with law, but it is not the reason we collect or generate thin
data. This distinction is important in data protection law.
Nobody is saying we should not disclose the thin data,
including name servers. What we are trying to say, and
obviously with very little success, is that several of the
purposes for collecting thin data which were in the last poll,
were not related to ICANN's core mission. They might be
legitimate disclosures of data, but they are not legitimate
purposes to collect.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">Displaying data in
WHOIS is a disclosure. We are not supposed to be talking
about that yet. We keep conflating the legitimacy of
collection, and why we gather or generate data elements about
a domain name, and disclosure. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">Sorry to keep
hammering on this, but it is a very simple concept that is
fundamental to data protection. No wonder we have been
arguing about this for 18 years.....</font></font></p>

<p class="m_-8946885381099811601MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">the
nameservers you’re using (and if you don’t specify any
we’ll use our own)</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">All the
other elements are NOT collected by the registrar or
even the registry from the registrant, they are
generated as part of the process of the domain being
registered.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

Michele, some might argue that the registration period
is also collected from the registrant and is then used
to generate the expiration date at the registry. A
case might also be made for status values like
clientTransferProhibited etc. I agree completely that
generated data is just that – generated.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
