<p>I think this discussion has some support for the idea that
ICANN's contract language should shoot for a minimum of data
collection consistent with its remit. That would both not encumber
registrars with contract language and leave them to deal with the
demands of their national jurisdiction, without having to come
back to ICANN in search of contract language exceptions. <br>
</p>
<p>I don't know if we have any degree of support for the idea that
ICANN should be present as a stakeholder in the wider Internet
governance deliberations. I have suggested that ICANN, and its
various constituencies, should be there both to remind others of
ICANN's limited remit (to prevent pressure for scope creep) and
keep informed of emerging governance tendencies where ICANN might
need to work to protect a DNS where "... DNS would be globally
compatible and the market for DNS services would be globally open
and competitive." <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I do not think
we want to maximize the ability of registrars to conform to
national law. ICANN was created specifically to be a global
governance agency so that DNS would be globally compatible
and the market for DNS services would be globally open and
competitive. Encouraging variations in practices across
jurisdictions moves us away from that goal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The simple
solution to this dilemma is for Whois to conform narrowly to
ICANN’s legitimate purpose in collecting the data and thus _<i>minimize</i>_
the data that it collects and makes publicly available.
Thus, while I agree ICANN not should press for higher
national privacy standards, I do agree with Ayden that if it
minimizes what it collects and makes available it flies
above the problem of jurisdictional variation. If specific
jurisdictions want to regulate local registrars to force
them to collect and/or disseminate more, that is
(unfortunately) something they will have to deal with, but
ICANN should make its global whois requirements well above
the threshold that would violate the privacy laws of any
country.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In this respect
ICANN is not the standard setter for all worldwide privacy,
but it is, and is supposed to be, the global standard setter
for DNS policy.
