Re: [gnso-dow123] Uses of WHOIS data



Undoubtedly,  Maria will just gather the information -- from what was in the survey, reports, and comments, including the public commetns.... I   note that Bruce also suggested that the constiutencies would then make additions or corrections.

 

Even if we can't have all the materials completed within the 7 days, it would be good to get a start within that time frame.

The previous TF did make a recommendation realted to marketing uses of bulk access. The report speaks for itself but it is perhaps useful to note the relevant TF recommendation.
