Tim,

Are you saying that the Registrar rep to the Task Force is not in support of
the drafts?  During the call, it seemed as if every constituency that was
present on the call (which was all but the registrar rep) supported the
drafts.

That being said, if you are not in support, can you please provide us with
your reasons so that even if a majority does support the drafts, we can
include your statement as a minority support.

Thanks.

Jeff

Since you asked, no, I don't fully support the draft.

Just as Marc's comments puzzled me, so does this one. The procedure we
recommended said that ICANN should NOT allow registrars to make
exceptions when DNS stability is threatened. See page 2, Step 3, point
iii. 

So I take it Tim that you support the current draft?

At some point, that may take precendent over fostering competition. If
some country's local laws make it impossible for a registrar to operate
in a manner that complies with what is deemed as necessary policies to
ensure that stability and security then isn't it reasonable to consider
that until the conflicts are resolved, registrar accreditations in that
country may not be possible?

Since I came into the TF late and had little occasion to participate
in the drafting of this text, I should perhaps not now in the end
start bringing up new issues. I was just wondering whether the wording
does include cases, where a registrar gets sued by an individual or a
group (e.g. a consumer organization) for divulging private
information. A court could order a registrar to stop doing that for
specific whois entries. Even award damages. In the latter case, the
registrar might have to close down whois altogether to avoid
further claims. Does the step by step procedure cater for such
situations too?
