Reforms to the WHOIS database in order to address growing privacy concerns have once again come to a halt, leaving a seven-year-old debate to continue on how much personal information should be displayed to the public.
Seven years? Perhaps seven "official" years, but I remember debates going on in the early nineties when the then InterNIC was the only maintainer of the database. If two dozen individuals couldn't agree then, how can many more people agree today? The question is unbelievably complex and I gather that everybody has a point. There is no right and wrong answer to this.
Could this be a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth" ? -- Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond, Ph.D. E-mail:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Tel:+33 (0)6 14 65 35 37 | US Fax:+1 (240)214 0440 Web: http://www.gih.com/ & http://www.nsrc.org/codes/country-codes.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.isoc-ny.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
