Re: .UK Whois expanding - finally

Indeed.   Personally I am delighted that expiry dates are now going to be published,  this was our biggest gripe with Nominet and causes us endless grief with transferring in detagged or renewal due domains.  Previously all we could do without sending an email in to Nominet for every single domain requesting the expiry date was to guess the expiry by adding multiples of 2 years to the registration date - hideously unreliable.   David Dorey Xsession.Com Limited ------------------------------------------------------- e : [EMAIL PROTECTED] w : http://www.xsession.com t : +44 (0)1784 460896 f : +44 (0)1784 460934 -------------------------------------------------------     ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Daminato To: David Dorey ; opensrs discuss Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 1:07 PM Subject: RE: .UK Whois expanding - finally Of course, a test output for Nominet members wont be available until September 1st ...   There's been mutterings of this for months, I - for one - am glad it's finally happening :)   Charles Daminato OpenSRS Product Manager Tucows Inc. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Dorey Sent: August 22, 2002 6:40 AM To: opensrs discuss Subject: .UK Whois expanding - finally On 1 October 2002 Nominet is finally expanding WHOIS for .UK domains.   New details will include the Registrant name, the address details for registrants that have been classified as businesses, the date on which the domain name is due for renewal, and the name and URL of the Tag Holder.  The second phase will include address details for non-trading individuals (there will be an opt out option for individuals) so apart from those who have opted out, the address details on the expanded whois will be fully populated by December 2004.   http://www.nominet.org.uk/ref/whois2.html   Kind regards,   David Dorey Xsession.Com Limited ------------------------------------------------------- e : [EMAIL PROTECTED] w : http://www.xsession.com t : +44 (0)1784 460896 f : +44 (0)1784 460934 -------------------------------------------------------
