Abstract: (submitter)

It is shown that the proton rms radius should be determined from fitting a polynomial of second order to the low-q2 form factors. The commonly used polynomial of first order yields radius values which are too small. The proton rms radius has been redetermined from an analysis of the electron scattering data measured at three laboratories. The best fit value is 0.87 +/- 0.02 fm.
