Survey on Whois Database

MacRonin writes: "The ICANN Domain Names Supporting Organization (DNSO) is conducting a study of the Internet domain-name system's Whois system, which provides information about registrations of domain names. The DNSO invites you to participate by filling out the survey ... The questions are designed to focus on the purpose, use, and accuracy of the Whois service to establish the appropriate balance between competing interests. The comment period is open NOW until the 31st July 2001. ... Ever wish you could get them to not publish your phone number and address for the junk mail people to use?? Don't mind individual lookups, but bulk sale of the WHOIS data drives you batty. Now is your time to let them know how you feel. Just be polite so they will take you seriously."
