Dear Valentina,<br>
<br>
thanks for this excellent contribution. <br>
<br>
As you mention, the public comment period is open until end of
business day today... I really do not know why the ALAC comment
period also closes on the same day - but this is all coming in at
the very last moment.<br>
I have CC'ed Holly Raiche & Carlton Samuels (as well as ALAC
Chair Alan Greenberg & ALAC Policy Staff) to see if your
organisation's comments can be taken into account, perhaps with ALAC
asking for a few more days from Mary Wong in order to formulate a
response.<br>
<br>
Alas I have no say in the matter / process or substance. :-)<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
<br>
ps. my thoughts about the matter of WHOIS Privacy & Proxy is
that WHOIS has become inappropriate for the task it is asked to
perform. I am flabbergasted that the work of the Expert Working
Group on gTLD Directory Services, published on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ewg-recommends-a-replacement-for-whois">https://www.icann.org/news/blog/ewg-recommends-a-replacement-for-whois</a>
is actually not being taken into account. It would save a lot of
time from volunteers wasting time with WHOIS privacy/proxy now.<br>

Please find attached ApTI's comment regarding ICANN's WHOIS

We believe the new policy <span

this proposal.<br>
