That's not just the highlight, it's practically the whole report.
It appears that the NTIA, in reviewing the transition, is
concentrating on Whois to the exclusion of all other issues. <br>

<i>NTIA, engaging directly with ICANN as well as through the
Governmental Advisory
Committee (GAC), aggressively worked to maintain the
ability for law enforcement,
cybersecurity practitioners, intellectual property rights
holders, and other users to access WHOIS
information in a timely manner. This is to a certain
extent reflected in the Temporary
Specification, which maintains the requirement for
registries and registrars to continue collecting
WHOIS information as well as make access to now redacted
information “reasonably” available.
NTIA supported ICANN taking action to keep the WHOIS
service working, but has made clear
in remarks within the GAC that while the Temporary
Specification is necessary, it is not
sufficient, as it does not clearly articulate how WHOIS
users are to be allowed access to this data
in a predictable fashion.......
NTIA volunteered to be
one of three GAC representatives to the EPDP and is
working over 30 hours a week to ensure
that the future specification balances data protection
with the needs to access WHOIS
information for legitimate and lawful purposes.</i>"</div>
