proposal to waive publication of whois data

[Danny Younger]

We are working in a policy environment with a number
of other constituencies that don't share our views.
This proposal does nothing to bridge the gap between
our respective positions.  It is not based on a
good-faith attempt to engender adoption by seeking
mutual consensus between parties; rather, it is
nothing more than in-your-face posturing that will
achieve nothing more than further prolonging the
status quo.

Rallying behind this particular flag will find you
waging the WHOIS battle for yet another decade instead
of settling the issue in a manner that the entirety of
the ICANN community can live with.

If you honestly believe that the ICANN Board will
adopt this approach over the opposition of the BC, the
ISPs, the IPC, the GAC and the USG, (not to mention
the opposition of organizations like the International
Red Cross and others), then I think you have hit a new
level of foolishness.

This proposal should be retired in favor of a more
pragmatic approach.
