A small thing with the Scope & methodology section. The text reads:

"In addition, the WRT raised with the community a number of sensitive issues regarding the tension between two values with the Affirmation: privacy of registrant data and public access to it. The Discussion Paper requested country code TLDs (ccTLDs) to share information regarding if they have responded to domestic laws and whether they have modified their ccTLD Whois policies."

The Affirmation is silent on "privacy of registrant data". I believe the only mention of privacy is in the makeup of our team. No doubt there is a tension in the community but the Affirmation is clear regarding public access to WHOIS data.

I would suggest that we change "between two values with the Affirmation: privacy of registrant data and public access to it" to "between those who view registrant data as private and the Affirmation promise of public access to it".

I am sensitive to, and very aware of the tension. However, I do not agree that there is a tension in the Affirmation itself.
