[RAA-WG] [ga] Registry Constituency Statement on WHOIS

[jwkckid1 at ix.netcom.com]

Danny and all,

  This is still not good enough by a significant margin.  Why?
Well it's very simnple really, it gives the IPC or IP lobbies
and thier cronies the MPAA and RIAA to make any claim of a
IP dispute as a pretext to getting any registrants personal
and private data wheather or not there actually is a ligitimate
IP claimed dispute.  Sorry no cigar here, just another IPC/BC
canard in a vailed attempt to appear considerate of registrants.
