RE: [dow1-2tf] WHOIS TF 1/2

["David W. Maher" <dmaher@xxxxxxx>]

The proposal for access is somewhat broader than "court order"

We will disclose personal information, other than via the WHOIS, as stated 
below, and the "Registration Information Access Rules and Procedures", as 
explained above, only:

(a) in the event that a law enforcement agency, court of competent 
jurisdiction, tribunal, judicial board, administrative body, judicial 
commission, or any other judicial body of competent jurisdiction requests 
personal information by way of an order, ruling, decision, subpoena, 
warrant, or judgment;

(b) pursuant to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic 
Documents Act S.C. 2000, c. 5; or

(c) if the domain name is subject to a proceeding under the CIRA Dispute 
Resolution Policy, to the relevant Dispute Resolution Provider.
