RE: [dow2tf] Tiered Access
As promised at the end of our call Monday, here is an edit of Kathy's proposed text regarding publication of data (tiered access). It incorporates in the recommendations, though with a few changes, Jordyn's posting below. I attach in both redline and "clean" versions -- please let me know if you have difficulty accessing either of these. I look forward to your comments.

Buchanan Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 10:59 AM To: 2DOW2tf Subject: [dow2tf] Tiered Access As promised, here is some text trying to summarize where we are on the tiered access issue: -- The task force believes that a system which provides different data sets to different users (also known as "tiered access") may serve as a useful mechanism to balance the privacy interests of registrants with the ongoing need to contact those registrants by other members of the Internet community. The task force believes that such a system should be based on the following principles: 1) Technical and operational details about the domain name, along with the name and country for both the registrant and administrative contact, should continue to be displayed to the public. Further contact details for the registrant and administrative contact would only be available in one or more protected tiers. 2) Registrants can direct that some or all of their protected data be displayed to the public. 3) Those seeking access to protected information should be able to obtain it in a timely manner. 4) The credentials used to obtain access to protected information should be issued in a centralized manner, rather than on a registrar-by-registrar (or even registry-by-registry) basis. 5) The system should be affordable, both for implementers and users. However, the task force also identified several questions that still must be answered before a tiered access system can be implemented. Specifically: 1) What are the mechanisms available for identifying and authorizing those requesting access to protected information? Are those mechanisms fast? Are they affordable? Are they online? 2) What contact data should be shown in the protected tier? 3) Should registrants be notified when their protected data is accessed other than in circumstances required by law or contract?
