Hi Bill, I think that's a good idea, and would be a good first step towards Kathy's suggestion of starting to pull together a statement. That post that Steph just linked to does a fairly decent job of describing the RDS and its issues in accessible terminology. There are other issues, I'd say, such as the proposal to develop and adopt a harmonized data protection framework to govern the RDS, some of the jurisdictional solutions they propose and the way they intend to deal w/trans-border data flows.

A formal and more considered written intervention could come later. > > C’est possible? > > Bill > > > On Jun 14, 2014, at 7:05 AM, Tamir Israel <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> On 6/13/2014 3:17 PM, Stephanie Perrin wrote: >>> In case folks did not see this.... >>> cheers Stephanie >>> >>> http://domainincite.com/16855-whois-killer-is-a-recipe-for-a-clusterfuck >> "The “media” and “bloggers” (I’m definitely in one of those categories) >> would be given the same rights to gated RDS data as the “general >> public”, under the EWG proposal." >> >> Wouldn't media be accredited alongside other 'domain name research' -ers? >> >> Best, >> Tamir >> >> > *********************************************** > William J.
