The GNSO's WHOIS Task Force #2 is chartered with reviewing the current
ICANN whois policy regarding the collection, disclosure and transmittal

It would be a great help to the Task Force if you could answer the
following questions in regard to your own practices as a registrar.  If
you operate through resellers, please provide whatever relevant
responses you can with regard to their practices, and also please
forward these questions to key resellers responsible for at leaast 70
percent of your reseller volume so that they may respond directly to
the Task Force.

Please return your responses to the Task Force no later than February

public, although e-mail addresses will be obfuscated in order to limit 
spam. Please send your relies to tf2-survey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      how do the mechanisms used to inform registrants of the use of their

used
      on the website?
No every customer has to accept our general terms and conditions befor he 
can register a domainname.


4. What requirements, if any, do you make of your resellers in terms of
      informing registrants of the use of their contact data, and gaining

In germany we have er very strict data protection law. Every institution

      anonymity lifted, or the anonymous registration canceled?
No!

      made publicly available through WHOIS?  If so, under what
      conditions is access -- if any -- to those data granted which are

Deutsche Telekom AG has implement 3 privacy level for the contact data.
Since we have got complaints from other registrars and ICANN that the
