Jeff, William and all,
Again, I am afraid I can't agree with William on this point either.
It seems to me that Jeff M., focused nicely on the substance
of the issue quite well... That being, of course, one of Privacy issues
and Ben's remarks in the link that Jeff M. provided. It is also now
well documented and in process of becomming law in the EU, that
the EU is not in,favor of ICANN's method of approach to the issue
of privacy thus far....
