    <p>Hi Erika,</p>
    <p>a few comments:</p>
    <p>Page 3, section 3, text in red, first bullet point:</p>
    <p>I do not doubt that the subgroup agreed that the "definition must
      be broad", but this agreement is not supported by any reasoning.
      Why must it be broad? Why must it include internet users? Is there
      perhaps any community-approved definition of "consumer" that could
      be referenced here? Is it appropriate to make such a determination
      here when the Whois-Policy review team fount it particularly
      challenging to make such a determination? Should we not then leave
      this definition to the broader community and leave this question
      open at this stage, for the Competition, Consumer Trust and
      Consumer Choice (CCT) Review Team to deal with, once (if?) it
      completes it work?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Page 10 (5), (2):What exactly is meant by reseller "lack of
      transparancy" in the contect of whois? When we write "potential
      gap" what are the risks and effects that any policy or contractual
      changes are planned to cover? Do we not overly infringe on
      commercial liberties of contracted parties to solve non-issues or
      minor issues? For most registrars, their reseller lists are
      closely held commercial secrets, and rightly so. Heck, even many
      of our resellers do not want us as registrars to know who their
      resellers are. We certainly have no need for such information. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Page 10 (5), (3): Are these really gaps? Do we really want to
      prescribe how resellers and registrars must design their websites?
      I feel this goes a bit far.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Rec 1:  "ICANN should request from resellers"? Total
      disagreement. ICANN has no business contacting resellers, as it is
      the registrars who are their contractually accredited partners.
      Ultimately, this is already widely covered by the reseller-related
      obligations in the RAA and before we posit an alleged lack of
      transparency we shopuld first agree whether there is really a
      significant problem that needs resolving. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Volker<br>
