Subject: ALAC vote on TF3 report

Brian,

I'm writing to you as ALAC's liaison to the GNSO Council; I
understand that Vittorio Bertola, ALAC's liaison to TF3, is
traveling and can't reach you by e-mail.  Apologies for submitting
the vote slightly late.

For purposes of tallying a vote, ALAC votes AGAINST all
recommendations made in the proposed TF3 report.

For purposes of giving advice, we respectfully suggest that the
report, in its current state, not be presented for public comment,
but rather be substantially revised.

The document put up for a vote on TF3 is not even suitable as a
basis for public comment or decision-making on the Council and Board
levels: Such a document would have to discuss the Task Force's
inputs and deliberations, it would have to compare the
recommendations made to the baseline policy and practice effective
today, and it would also have to include discussion of the effects
(and side effects) of the recommendations made.  Making the
addressees and status (consensus policy?) of individual
recommendations transparent would also contribute to enabling an
informed discussion of the proposals made.

Specific to the area of WHOIS accuracy, it would also be helpful to
compare any recommendations made to the results of the DNSO Whois
Task Force's and Implementation Committees work from 2002/2003, and
to make sure that the considerable body of public comment and
community discussion is taken into account that was generated back
then.

Kind regards,
--
