[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] international law enforcement association resolution regarding domain registration data

I hesitate to even venture a comment on this topic, lest it generate 
another 20 comments, but I am very puzzled about this whole discussion. 
I am admittedly much more familiar with the Canadian Association of 
Chiefs of Police, a lobby group/professional association which is 
remarkably similar to this organization, only on a national level.  OF 
course any of the police lobby associations are free to join us, but is 
anyone suggesting that we do not have adequate representation of law 
enforcement interests at ICANN?  Do we not have several representatives 
of police agencies on this working group?  Law enforcement organizations 
regularly form part of GAC delegations, certainly our RCMP are often 
part of the Canadian delegation to the GAC.  Law enforcement officials 
have formed a public safety working group.....any of these 
representatives are presumably capable of drafting papers for their 
national organizations and indeed I suspect someone has drafted this 
document for the International Association, given the specificity of the 
resolutions.  I am sure many national associations will endorse it and 
bring it to their own national governments, who in turn will forward it 
to their GAC delegations.

Police organizations regularly lobby for legislative change to 
facilitate their work. (it is nevertheless interesting that this 
international organization has a link for contacting your congressman, 
http://capwiz.com/theiacp/issues/ right under the drop down menu for 
what we do).   It is not surprising that they have prepared a resolution 
on WHOIS, those of us who have followed the impact of technology on 
police work have seen many similar resolutions on different issues.  
Police face problems of time and expense, not to mention constitutional 
protection. However, It is not like law enforcement has not had its 
views very well represented at ICANN over many years. Given, as Michele 
has pointed out, that the bar for membership on this working group is 
exceedingly low (show up) it seems to me the issue we need to worry 
about is, who does not have the time and money to show up.
