[registrars] Draft for TF2

[Paul Stahura]

Whois and port-43 specification came out before there were even web sites.
If that was the purpose (I don't disagree that it was), is it still the
purpose?  IF it is (still the purpose), then, in this day and age, there are
other was to facilitate the communication to the tech contact than
displaying the contact information for the entire world to see (and abuse
for other purposes).  For example, Tom Barret, in his recent post to this
list suggests one.

Tom,

Generally solid document.  Is it possible to work in a statement recognizing
that the original purpose of WHOIS was to provide tech contact to facilitate
communication when tech problems arose?

Regards,
Brian

Hello,

please find attached my draft of the Registrar Constituency Statement
for
the WHOIS TF 2. 

I tried to incorporate all the registrar input I got over the course of 
the last month as well as the findings of the TF2 data collection which 
should be available for public review soon.

Please be advised that we have to formulate an offical statement on this
topic
until April 16.

Best,

tom
