[Rt4-whois] RFP for Consumer Research

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi Lynn and All who worked on this important RFP,
It looks great, but after working closely with ICANN Staff and a Working 
Group to redesign 3 other Whois Studies (the ones recently approved), I 
think we may be leaving too much too broad for the companies we seek to 
work with.

Consistent with these other surveys, I propose that we identify the 
existence of proxy and privacy services -- as this should not come as a 
surprise to them. (We may even want to include more detail that I have 
added.)

In addition, I think we should clearly lay out the two definitions of 
consumer trust which have been presented to us again and again (starting 
with Larry Strickling): privacy (consumer trust as the trust of the 
domain name consumer, the registrant) and accountability (consumer trust 
as the trust of the 3rd party [of many groups] seeking Whois data for 
investigative and research purposes.

Short edits proposed and attached.
Great thanks,
Kathy
