Danny, this is disingenuous. WHOIS is controversial. There is not now
and never will be agreement on all details by all parties. If that is
your standard for when the TF is finished it will never be finished. And
of course,  as you know well, that outcome plays perfectly into the
hands of people (such as you?) who want to retain the status quo, which
allows them to plunder and data mine personal contact information in a
completely unresitrcted manner. 

This is a clear demonstratoin of how the notion of "consensus" is
completely inappropriate in any major policy issue, where there are
difficult and controversial conflicts of interest among the parties.
