ICANN plan to close domain database called 'disquieting'

There seems to be a real worry that the "Who Is" domain information is 
to become secret.  The moment I saw it was from a committee that calls 
itself "Expert..." I expected the regressive ideas that are there. The 
response, much shorter, makes a lot of sense. Anyone who values access 
to "Who Is" should read this and send an objection too. [the link is 
picked up from Authors Against Piracy - an area in which  access to "Who 
Is" information is vital]
