[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] Privacy issue

[Carlton Samuels]

Here's something to consider. It would be true to say ICANN hasn't dealt
with WHOIS privacy issues in a 'privacy-by-default' & design kinda way. But
the privacy/proxy framework inherent to registration of domain names bears
some relevance; RAA 2013 Sec 3.14.

That  placeholder in the P/P specification of RAA 2013 booted the PPSAI
WG which initiated downstream a P/P Service Provider Accreditation
framework; I was a member of that WG. That WG has made final
recommendations via the GNSO and the implementation phase has started with
the work of the PPSAA IRT.  I'm also following this phase; just completed a
call.
