[ga] Russia to Halt Public Access to .RU Whois Data?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  FYI:
Seems maybe our not so good friends in Russia may have the right idea
here a la opt in/opt out approach.  I wonder how Russia will handle
non Russian law enforcement access given this consideration?
