need examples of scenarios where one needs an anonymous domain name registration for work of WHOIS Expert Working Group

[Robin Gross]

Dear All:

One of NCSG's follow-up items on WHOIS coming out of Beijing was a  
special request from Stephanie Perrin, who is the only privacy  
advocate on the ICANN Board's Expert Working Group on Directory  
Services (aka whois).

Stephanie needs for NCSG to assist her in coming up with a list of  
use case examples of why one needs an anonymous domain name  
registration.

So if you know of any facts that describe a scenario that  
demonstrates the legitimate need to register a domain name  
anonymously, please let us know!   Actually, please let Amr Elsadr  
know (cc'd here) who's agreed to keep track of this information for  
NCSG and feed it to Stephanie for her work on the working group.

Stephanie came and spoke to NCSG during our open meeting in Beijing  
and asked for the help of our members in coming up with these  
examples.  This is a great chance for us to provide direct input into  
an important process to protect privacy and anonymity rights on the  
Internet, so I hope you will send any thoughts you may have to Amr  
(or post to this list for collection also).

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Robin
