It's also possible that registrants don't want registrars to provide that feature. In the past many registrars were able to charge extra for services that would effectively redact personal information from the data accessible via whois, services that had in some cases the additional costs of e-mail and phone redirection included with them. If we infer that the products wouldn't have been made available if nobody bought them, perhaps we can conclude that at least some registrants had a preference for privacy. A mechanism for voluntary publication of private information by the data subjects that enjoyed standardisation might fail because there is no demand for it. This does not seem like an unlikely outcome to me. To be honest, I find it hard to imagine any registrant paying extra money or spending extra time publishing personal information to the general public voluntarily. It'd be like paying a restaurant extra to have a waiter spit in your food. Climbing up a few thousand feet (and not replying to you directly, Philip) it's not clear to me that this discussion has revealed any real support for John's proposal. I have no standing to judge consensus here, in case that's not already abundantly obvious, but perhaps it'd be an idea to stop the circular, point-by-point rebuttals and simply concede that there's no appetite to proceed with this work here. Other venues have been suggested. Joe
