Yes - I have to object as well. ICANN is not a law enforcement agency
and should not see itself as policing the Internet. This would be like
telling the phone company that they are a branch of law enforcement and
can listen in on phone calls. Or having utility copmanies spying on
their customers for law enforcement. Or having priests turn people in
to law enforcement. <br>
<br>
I don't see where law enforcement has a role to play in ICANN at all.<br>

<div style="margin: 0px;">The Affirmation of Commitments calls for
a periodic review of four key ICANN objectives, namely:</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Ensuring accountability, transparency and
the interests of global Internet users;<span

resiliency of the DNS;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Promoting competition, consumer trust and
consumer choice;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">WHOIS policy.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">In line with the Affirmation provisions,
the WHOIS Policy Review (WIR) is to be objectively performed by a
Review Team composed of:</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Volunteer Community Members representing
the relevant Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees of ICANN;<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">The composition of this Review Team shall

<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Whereas a Call for Applicants for
volunteer RT Members was launched on June 1, ICANN now invites
interested individuals to apply for a position of Independent Expert,
Law Enforcement Representative or Global Policy Expert on the WHOIS
Policy Review Team.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br>
