RE: Whois info Required?

[Charles Daminato]

It is enforced, but it's passive.  ICANN doesn't actively pursue incorrect information, but it's the responsability of the registrar to ensure this is accurate.  If we find (or are informed) of domains that are obviously inaccurate, we can invoke processes (within ICANN mandate) to chase after and either update the domain, or release it.   Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of ezgoing8 Sent: March 12, 2002 2:11 PM To: Charles Daminato; Mike Allen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Whois info Required? While it is mandated it is often missing.   There is nothing to stop a domain owner from removing or providing false the information once they have access to the control panel.   And this is like everything else about ICANN, it is mandated but not enforced.   Then the idiots who provide false or incomplete information complain when they do not receive renewal information and lose the domain.  :( ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Daminato To: Mike Allen ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 8:06 AM Subject: RE: Whois info Required?

I recently had a good question asked on our site.   Someone asked me if WhoIs info is required, and they said the reason they were asking is this:   They found a .Com domain name that all the contact info is missing EXCEPT for a hotmail e-mail address. Is it not a requirment for the whois to show who the current owner is? The people asking said that they owned the domain they thought but when they went to check, it dosn't look like they do. They are trying to go through their records to find a record of the purchase.   Any info would be helpful.... ;)   Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net    (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** DeerSearch.Com   -   Get Targeted Traffic to your site for as little as 1 penny per visit! http://www.DeerSearch.Com          Is currently paying $6.00 per sale to all affiliates! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** PWDOnLine.Com - Looking for someone to design your web-site?
