This group has been formed to help ICANN gather the information it needs to engage with data protection authorities and to obtain actionable legal advice.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I committed last week to keeping the NCSG updated on the activities of the Consultation Group over the coming months. <br></div><div><br></div><div>In our first meeting, we committed to participating in a data gathering exercise to identify the existing users of WHOIS, what data elements they use, and for what purpose. At this time we are not making the determination as to whether a purpose is legitimate or illegitimate, though that call will come, or if a data element comprises personally identifiable information. For now we are simply trying to include all user categories to get the most complete set of data points.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We are interested in understanding how non-commercial Internet users, who we in the NCSG purport to represent the interests of, use WHOIS. We have conducted some informal consultation among our peers and have been provided with a few use cases, but not too many. It is possible that end users do not use WHOIS widely [and that has been the assumption that has informed previous exercises like this one], but if you, as an end user, do use WHOIS, we would be curious to know for what purpose and which data elements you rely on. Please share your thoughts either on-list or with me privately, if you prefer.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We have a very short turnaround time for this exercise. Our next call is this Thursday, and ICANN staff envision this entire task being completed by next week. The time for you to provide input is thus now. Thanks!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,<br></div></div><div><br></div><div class="m_1926478930850468880m_1407771285881252151protonmail_signature_block"><div class="m_1926478930850468880m_1407771285881252151protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Ayden Férdeline<br></div><div><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" title="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" target="_blank">linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a><br></div></div><div class="m_1926478930850468880m_1407771285881252151protonmail_signature_block-proton m_1926478930850468880m_1407771285881252151protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div></blockquote></div></div>
