> Hello All,
> 
> I would like to hold a meeting on WHOIS to prepare some 
> material as input into the GNSO WHOIS Privacy work.
> 
> I invite any registrar or registry operator that wishes to attend.
> 
> I propose to meet from 10am to 1pm on Thursday 11 September 
> in Marina Del Ray.
> 
> The agenda will be:
> 
> (1) Review current contractual requirements with regard to 
> provision of WHOIS services [30 mins]
> 
> (2) Review approaches to limit data mining via port 43 and web access
> - suggest short term solution to make a tangible difference 
> (prior to any new standard)
> - decide whether solution is consistent with contract of 
> whether we require contractual changes [60 mins]
> 
> (3) Review the IETF CRISP requirements and see if it meets 
> our needs with regard to (1) [30 mins]
> 
> (4) Review all registration data that is collected and decide:
> - which data elements should continue to be mandatory (as per current
> contract)
>  for those that should be mandatory what is the impact if 
> they are not collected
> - which data elements should continue to be displayed via 
> WHOIS service [30 mins]
> 
> The objective will be to develop a document on the issues 
> above for presentation at the registrars meeting on 12 
> September 2003, and later circulation via the registrars 
> list. The ultimate aim will be to establish a constituency 
> position on the above issues via the normal email voting process.
> 
> I think that it is important that registrars and registries 
> take a lead in moving the issue on WHOIS forward as we did on 
> the Transfers issue. If we are not pro-active we risk having 
> a solution dictated to us by various Government regulators.
> 
> Please let me know if you are interested in attending on Thursday.
