Public Comment: Draft Report on WHOIS Accuracy
15 February 2010

The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) recently completed a study 
commissioned by ICANN to determine the percentage of domain names registered 
under the top 5 gTLDs (i.e., .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info) that contain 
accurate WHOIS data. Today, the draft report is being posted for review and 
comment through 15 April 2010.

Community members are invited to review the draft report and its findings and 
comment on all aspects of the report. The information in the report is intended 
to contribute to the ongoing community discussion regarding WHOIS and should be 
useful in any future policy development process regarding WHOIS.
The draft report can be found here:
