Domain investor, George Kirikos, has commented on an important deadline, regarding ICANN’s WHOIS Reform Proposal.
The deadline for public comments is tomorrow, Friday, as seen at the ICANN web site.
George Kirikos has provided a link to his own comments, where he raises several issues related to the purpose and effectiveness of the proposed changes.
Says Kirikos:
“This report is truly an appalling piece of garbage, lacking any empirical data (i.e. numbers) to back it up. It’s no wonder they released it at the beginning of the summer, and wanted most comments received before the end of the summer — that’s when you “bury” things to avoid public scrutiny. ICANN claims to be “bottom-up” and “consensus-driven”, but this is pure “top-down” work.”
It is important that all domainers voice their concern about the proposed changes in the way WHOIS data is stored and presented, so your opinion counts!
