Thanks very much for these materials Lisa.  Please let me reiterate a 
point that I guess has not registered yet.  The first question we have 
to ask is "what is the purpose of collecting, using, storing, and 
disclosing registration data?  If we agree on the narrow definition that 
was defined in the 2007 WHOIS task force report, then many of the 
current uses, as has been pointed out by the global data commissioners 
repeatedly, are not legitimate.  So lets agree on the purpose of data 
collection first. I am deeply concerned about the discussion of 
"requirements".  Here is the 2007 definition:
/The GNSO Council recommends that the WHOIS task force use the following 
definition: "The purpose of the gTLD WHOIS service is to provide 
information sufficient to contact a responsible party for a particular 
gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party 
who can resolve, issues related to the configuration of the records 
associated with the domain name within a DNS name server." as a working 
definition to allow the task force to proceed on terms of reference (2), 
(3), and (4)

/Note:  the ICANN wiki says this is what we are doing:
" The *Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace 
Whois Policy Development Process Working Group* (RDS-PDP-WG) has been 
established to redefine the purpose of gTLD registration data and to 
consider how to safeguard this data. It is also tasked with proposing a 
model for gTLD registration directory services that will address 
accuracy, privacy, and access issues. "
If we are redefining the purpose of gTLD registration data, we should 
address that question first.
cheers Stephanie
