NSI Changes whois Again

Posted by michael on from the to-make-it-less-useful-of-course dept.

An Anonymous Coward points out that NSI has removed the date registered, date modified and date the database was last updated from whois queries. This is in specific violation of the recently agreed-to amendments to the Cooperative Agreement between NSI and the Dept. of Commerce, which provide that "NSI shall provide an interactive Registry WHOIS service providing free public query-based access to up-to-date registry database data which, in response to input of an SLD name, shall report at least the following data elements in response to queries: ... (e) the date of the most recent modification to the domain name record in the registry database...".

    If they break the agreemeant with the commerce department, can't the commerce dept. get some of those fancy govt. attorneys to pull the plug on NSI for once and freaking all?
