Thomas, to the extent you can merge what has been contributed; insert the whois report in the appropriate section without edits, and publish it, that would be wonderful! I am drafting as committed.

What kinds of contributions do you have so far, besides the ones
which made it to the list?  I could try to merge things tomorrow
morning my time (i.e., well before the call) when I'll have a
relatively long train ride.

Things I have so far include:

- My own draft.
- Ruchika's texts on the FTC recommendations about avoiding
  publication of data, and on the OECD principles.

The more I think about it, the more I end up agreeing that the
national law side can be handled relatively briefly in the issues
report, by basically stating something along these lines of this:

	In various countries (including, in particular, the EU),
	privacy and data protection laws may apply to registrars'
	WHOIS services and registrars' participation in thick
	registry WHOIS services.  The Task Force is not in a
	position to give a thorough legal analysis of these aspects,
	and proposes that the GAC or other relevant multinational
	bodies be consulted about approaches for designing WHOIS
	policies in a way which is compatible with any such laws.

What else is missing?  As I said above, I'll have an opportunity to
draft somethings early tomorrow, i.e., well before our call.

Greetings from the way back home from CeBIT,
