Amendment to Proposed motion on WHOIS

[Milton Mueller]

In line with my comments in the public forum yesterday, I propose the
following modification to Bruce's resolution. I hope that Mawaki can
introduce these changes today on the Council list and/or the meeting
this afternoon.

Original Part 3 of the resolution:

Change to this:

Three: the Council with undertake a dialogue with governments, via the
GAC, and SSAC on developing a broadly understandable definition of the
purposes for which the current data required in the RRA is collected.
The dialogue with governments must take into account the views of law
enforcement agencies, data protection authorities, and the policies and
rules of ccTLDs, and take note of differences in national law and
policies.
