The main usefulness of a publicly available whois is as a way to get the
registry out of the litigation loop.
It also helps the registry get out of other dispute stuff which a
registry should not be involved in (content disputes etc).
Obviously, and particularly, in the case of a ccTLD, local legislation
has precedence.

Ok, but why do you need the whois data?
I’d agree that it shouldn’t be via email anyway – that makes zero sense

Hi Michele,
Thanks for the positive feedback.
I do agree with you that a public WHOIS has issues due to privacy
conflicts. However in the Zimbabwean scenario for one to get the WHOIS
details you need to email the Registries requesting the details. In
this case anyone can get the WHOIS details. Since anyone can get the
WHOIS details it may be much better if we can have a public WHOIS
database with the option for protecting the WHOIS details if you do do
need them to be public. This option can be much better since you can
choose to keep your details private through Privacy Protection.
Now the issue comes when you have to wait a day or two even more to
get a response to your WHOIS request. Having it online will ensure
getting the WHOIS details instantly making the experience much better.
Best Regards,
Isaac

Interesting post.
However I’m a bit confused by one of your points:
“An online public and accurate WHOIS database”
Public whois is problematic in many jurisdictions due to privacy
conflicts
Also I don’t see how public whois is linked to “success” or “growth”
Regards
Michele

Hi All,
Here is my post as a follow up to our recently held DNS
Entrepreneurship Workshop in Zimbabwe, which is part of the
ICANN's initiative to improve the DNS Industry in Africa.
