[NCSG-PC] RDS/WHOIS2 Review Team -- Draft Comments

[Kathryn Kleiman]

Hi All,

The deadline is almost upon us for the Registration Directory Service 
(RDS)-WHOIS2 Review Draft Report comments.  I found the RDS/WHO2 Draft 
Report scary and fascinating -- it was supposed to stay within the "four 
corners" of the first Whois Review Team Report and it didn't. It 
proposes some truly dangerous changes.  I am also concerned by the long 
discussion I heard (participated in) in Barcelona with Alan, Katrin and 
Susan (officers of RDS-WHO2 from ALAC, GAC Public Safety Working Group 
and Facebook) saying that they might continue their work, do more 
surveys and make more recommendations -- even as the EPDP is in 
progress!  They should definitely stop!

Huge thanks to Stephanie for being part of and surviving this Review Team!

Knowing that things are crazy busy, I kicked off a draft comment from my 
vantage point as Vice-Chair of the first WHOIS Review Team (18 long 
months in 2010-2011).  Feel free to edit and expand!
