This was our "definition" in our note sent on June 21. While not at the
level of specific language, it is at a level appropriate to the nature
of the discussion at hand and specific enough to merit mention and
consideration in any summary of comments. Our comments were sent to GAC.
I take it they were not reflected in any discussion?

Subject: Re: [NCUC-DISCUSS] [council] Proposed WHOIS motion for 20 July
2006

Iliya:

I know for a fact that numerous letters where sent from Data Protection
Authorities (DPA) to ICANN. If they were sent directly to GAC, the
Board, or GNSO - that i don' t know. I do know they were sent and
received.

I would recommend that NCUC formally ask about the status of the DPA
letters and if they could be made public. Otherwise, it would appear
that the Intellectually property lobby is the only group who has
submitted inputs - however that is clearly not the case.

If ICANN and/or the GNSO is unwilling to help - then, the next step
would be to make the fact known to the DPA's.

regards

Robert
