[icann-eu] Whois development (IETF) and .BIZ registry agreement.

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

All,

  After reading Appendix O of the .BIZ registry agreement that has just
been announced as finalized, I took a look at some of the archives
briefly of the IETF ML on Whois, see:
http://www.imc.org/ietf-whois/mail-archive/
and http://www.imc.org/ietf-whois/entire-arch.txt

  It seems appalling to me that the new Assigned registry for the new
TLD .BIZ will be charging for Whois lookups as we briefly discussed on
the phone. I would suggest that you reference these two links in a post
to the DNSO GA regarding the privacy concerns of this new registry 
for .BIZ and the charging for whois lookups outlined in the 
registry agreement in Appendix O of that agreement. See:

Regards,
