It is the last day for comments in the Public Forum on the "National Laws Exception" to the WHOIS -- the proposal that NCUC wrote to all Registrars to respect privacy and change the WHOIS data when their their national data protection commissioners tell them to. **Please send a brief comment from your organization (or you personally) supporting it? We have very few, and we need them! **<BR>
<BR>
Also, if you like legal details, please comment that registrars are entitled to confidentiality when they are under investigation for criminal matters (e.g., violation of national data protection laws). <BR>
<BR>
Thanks, Kathy<BR>
