[Rt4-whois] Communication from the GAC [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Omar Kaminski]

Dear Mikhail,

The Whois database is object of copyright. Could be the starting
point, and that's why I insist on "who owns the database".

Best from .br,

Omar

> ·         The GAC would like to draw the review team's attention to the 2007
> GAC Principles regarding gTLD WHOIS services, which identify public policy
> issues and propose principles related to generic Top Level Domain WHOIS
> services. The GAC would welcome discussions with the review team, and with
> the broader community, on these principles.

>
>
> ·         Consistent with these principles, the GAC highlights the broad

> WHOIS service, including: privacy and data protection laws; consumer
> protection law; intellectual property law; various forms of criminal law;
> and so on. For these reasons, the GAC would recommend that the review team's

> relevant laws.
