[registrars] Final Registrars WHOIS Statement

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the final Whois statement:

We the undersigned registrars wish to confirm that we will continue to
collect the data (commonly called WHOIS data) as required by the
registrar accreditation agreement (all of which is currently displayed
to the general public), and will continue to provide access to such data
to law enforcement, intellectual property interests, ISPs, and others
through appropriate processes.  Registrars are open to improve those
processes for more efficient access by legitimate users.

Registrars store this information for the lifetime of their agreement
with ICANN plus an additional 3 years.

Registrars also note that other useful data such as the IP (Internet
Protocol) address used by a registrant when registering a domain name
and credit card information also is stored.  This information also is
available for law enforcement access through appropriate processes.

Registrars continue to support privacy protection for the Personal Data
of natural persons.
