RE: [dow2tf] Section 1.4 change too far

I am not sure how one "recommends a question" so I suggest that the
words "and questions regarding" be dropped.  Otherwise I am fine with
Kathy's changes.

Subject: [dow2tf] Section 1.4 change too far

I think the changes being offered to 1.4 need to be turned back a bit.  

First, I support the original language introducing our recommendations
==> "Some changes to the current Whois policy that make up the final
recommendations are as follows..."

I can't support the current language about proposed changes across "all
of ICANN's registries and registrars" because it does not reflect our
discussion and does not reflect our data.  As Team 1 found in its data
research, lots of ccTLDs are responding in different and tangible ways
to their national privacy laws.  Our discussions have always been about
gTLDs, and only a subset of those (e.g., .NAME as different).  So I
think we have to strike this phrase.

If we have to change the phrase above, then I would recommend the
following text: 
   "The Task Force recommends a number of changes to and questions
regarding current WHOIS policy that are intended to reflect this balance
in a resonable and consistent manner. These recommendations are
described in detail.... "
