awhile to review the WG report, but I have done so, and what struck me the most
is the REVEAL section. It has no relationship to any real-world scenario I
know. In the real-world, a trademark owner sends a cease and desist letter
to a person, or his attorney, and the parties can choose to respond, or not
respond. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

MUST respond to a demand that is inaccurate, overbroad, intimidating or
threatening just because another individual or big business alleges there is an
illegality (and they all always do) is not consistent with law. (I note that
this appears to have been quite controversial in the WG and I appreciate all you
did to argue it.)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

ask a data protection commission -- like Canada's -- for a review of this
section and whether it is consistent with national data protection laws.
If not, what changes would they offer? Their changes would have the
benefit of precedent and national law conformity. </SPAN></FONT></P>

months as an attorney with a major Internet law firm, I have found the vast
majority of cease and desist to be unfounded and inaccurate. To lose a
layer of data protection for not responding in 24 or even 72 hours is crazy, as
that is not even enough time to find an attorney (in most cases).

Draft Staff Report on Whois by expressing its support for Motion #3 contained
in the report. That motion declares that there is no consensus on existing
Whois policy and asks that the Whois portions of the Registrar Accreditation
Agreement be "sunsetted" (i.e., expired) at the end of 2008. This motion
should NOT be withdrawn if Motion #1 passes. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
