RE: [dow2tf] Fwd: Data gathering suggestions

Re: data-gathering: 

(A)  I suggest revising Jordyn's first question (and Thomas's addition) to
track more closely the wording of RAA secs. 3.7.7.4 and 5, as follows:

1.	What mechanisms do you use to inform potential and existing
registrants of the following:

(a)	the purposes for which contact data is collected;
(b)	the intended recipients or categories of recipients of contact data;
(c)	which contact data are obligatory and which (if any) are voluntary;
(d)	how registrants may access and seek to rectify their contact data.  

Please provide applicable URLs. 

2.	What mechanisms do you use to obtain consent from registrants for
use of their contact data?  Please provide applicable URLs.  

(B)  Will the TF members be accorded a final opportunity to review the
questionnnaires discussed on yesterday's call?  If so, what is the target
date for circulating the final draft?  (I also remain confused about which
questions will be asked to which group -- top 20 registrars?  all
registrars? all constituencies? -- and ask that that be specified in the
draft.) 

(C)  I understand that after I had to leave the call yesterday afternoon,
participants were asked to indicate their availability for Task Force calls
between now and the end of the year.  I am generally available over this
period and specifically could participate on Monday Dec. 22 and/or Monday,
Dec. 29 if calls are scheduled then.

As discussed, I would add a question about the specific obligation
from RAA 3.7.7.4.2 to this and/or Barbara's information gathering
exercise.  Suggested wording:

	The RAA provides that registrar shall provide notice to each
	new or renewed registered name holder stating (i) the
	intended recipients or (ii) categories of recipients of the
	data collected.  What mechanisms do you use for this
	notification?  What information about the intended
	recipients do you provide to them?

On anonymity services, for a more general public:

>>3) Please comment on any mechanisms that you are aware of to
>>allow anonymous domain registrations, or to limit the amount of
>>contact data made publicly available through Whois?

	  Please also comment on the conditions under which the
	  registrant's anonymity is lifted when these services are
	  used.

For registrars:

    	  Do you provide any mechanisms for anonymous domain
	  registrations?  If so, under what conditions, if any, is
	  the registrant's anonymity lifted, or the anonymous
	  registration canceled?

	  Do you provide any mechanisms to limit the amount of
	  contact data made publicly available through WHOIS?  If
	  so, under what conditions is access -- if any -- to those
	  data granted which are collected, but not made publicly
	  available through WHOIS?

Wording improvements welcome.
