Hi all<br><br>CENTR has very kindly provided the WHOIS Review Team with anonymised data about its membership's WHOIS practices. It should be noted that CENTR's membership extends beyond the geographical region of Europe, and so the data provided does not simply reflect practices within the EU data protection environment.<br>
<br>Attached are two anonymised reports.<br><br>One provides information on what information is public, and what can be hidden<br>The other provides information about when "opted out" information will be provided to third parties.<br>
<br>Kathy - you kindly volunteered to bring on the ccTLD appendix, and I believe that this will provide a good evidence base to start off our narrative. This can then be supplemented by individual case studies which registries have chosen to share with us, and perhaps a few of the anecdotal comments from the public sessions eg in Singapore.<br>
<br>I'm sure that I speak for the entire WHOIS Review Team in warmly thanking the CENTR community and staff for sharing this information with us.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Emily<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><br>
