Dear All,
as  a .am ccTLD manager   we have permanent contacts  with local
government authorities. Can say, that the most important point for
government authorities is correct WHOIS information. From that point of
view  new requirements, pointed in  "ANNEX I, Safeguards on New gTLDs
1. WHOIS verification and checks" are understandable.
But there is a serious problem, which  is applicable for WHOIS in
general - personal data of the domain name owner. For legal entities
there is no any problem, they have to provide information about company,
but for physical persons WHOIS  is a place, where anybody  can find  lot
of information about any domain name owner. Are there any ideas, how to
reconcile these two positions?

In this case, it seems that the GAC has really overstepped its bounds, and if you read my comment draft you will get a better idea why I think so. A strong response from the ICANN "community" will help overcome this subversive document.

I have the GAC advice downloaded so do not have a link for it. If someone else can quickly supply one please do so, otherwise I will dig it up in a day or two.
