To NCUC:
I have good news! I just found one of the pivotal documents in the WHOIS debate (a paper written by the EU's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party) translated into *eleven languages* on the Article 29 website.
Its title is: "Opinion 2/2003 on the application of the data protection principles to the Whois directories." It is also "WP-76," about nine papers from the top.
It is a terrific paper, enjoy! Link:
