RE: [gnso-dow123] RE: Uses of WHOIS data
Maria,
Thanks for the time and effort you put into this. It is
very helpful. I would like to add one use to the list:
Used by Certificate Authorities in their verification and validation
processes.

Dear all,
Please find attached
a list of uses of whois data that has been gleaned from
contributions
to the GNSO work on Whois over the past several years.
FYI
the documents used to create this list have been archived online
at
http://www.furl.net/members/mfarrell10 (in the 'filter by topic'
menu near
the top of the page click on 'Uses of whois
data'.)
All the best, Maria

Subject: Uses of WHOIS data
Hello
Maria,
In the past, the WHOIS task forces have surveyed the
users of the WHOIS
service and collected information on how the data
retrieved from WHOIS is
currently used by these users.
TO
assist the WHOIS task force to determine the purpose of the
public
display (via the WHOIS service) of data collected at the time
of
registration, please collate the current uses of WHOIS data as
recorded in
previous WHOIS policy work.
The GNSO
Constituencies can review the information and make any
corrections
or additions.
I hope this can be done within 7
days.
Once all the information is available, the WHOIS task
force can begin to
develop a policy that specifies a purpose for
WHOIS in the context of the
ICANN mission and core values.
For the GNSO public forum in Luxembourg, the aim should be to
provide the
public with information on the current uses of WHOIS,
and a proposed
policy for the purpose of the WHOIS service.
The task force can then
take advantage of public
comment.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
