[anti-abuse-wg] meeting minutes

 >This is a working group, the word 'working' implying that some effort 
is expected of active participants.

Not all people are active participants.  The vast majority of people 
affected are not active participants and some people just want to see 
what is going on.

 >Non-participants who find the terminology difficult to understand are 
better served by less specific information.

I am glad you have decided for all those millions of Internet users what 
is best for them.  Basically you are admitting there is no consensus 
process and that few people get to decide what everyone else gets to know.

I have already submitted a list of issues several times to this group 
and RIPE and nobody wants to describe these issues on the information 
that is provided to the Internet community.  I am compiling that 
information at http://WhoisSecurity.com.  I still have more work to do 
and I will be adding information as I get it but you are free to take 
any information there and add it to your various reports.  A couple here 
people have sent me suggestions of things to look into and I am getting 
to it.  I am hoping to hear back from ARIN, CIRA, and the US Department 
of Commerce (.us) about their whois policies and their enforcement as it 
relates to the information being harvested, repackaged and sold in whois 
history reports and the legal authority behind those banner notices.  I 
don't expect I will get any solid answers from those entities but I have 
made the inquiries.
