Hello All,

Here is a revised statement as modified in further discussion today.

Again please respond if you support this statement.

Thanks,
Bruce Tonkin


We the undersigned registrars wish to confirm that we will continue to
collect the data (commonly called WHOIS data) as required by the
registrar accreditation agreement (all of which is currently displayed
to the general public), and will continue to provide access to such data
by law enforcement, intellectual property, ISPs, and others through
appropriate processes.   Registrars are open to improve those processes
for more efficient access by legitimate users.   

Registrars store this information for the lifetime of their agreement
with ICANN plus an additional 3 years.   

Registrars also note that other useful data such as the IP (Internet
Protocol) address used by a registrant when registering a domain name
and credit card information is also stored.  This information is also
available for law enforcement access through appropriate processes.

Registrars continue to support privacy protection for the Personal Data
of natural persons.
