Whois? We are.

From an email from Elliot Noss:

[T]here are some changes being discussed to whois policy (summarized here ) that would create greater respect for privacy and return whois to what it was supposed to be, a system to facilitate the technical management of domain names. Of course the IP interests see it as their "enforcement directory", so they are astroturfing the crap out of the public comments. See here.

I haven't had a chance to look at this (I'm preparing to give a talk), but I trust Elliot, so I'm conveying his concern... [Tags: whois ip elliot_noss ]

The "summarized here" link is broken (has an 'http//' in the middle of it)
