Hi Ross,

I think the lack of interest in all this whois work is
1- How can you beleive one second we will attain at least 10% of 
accuracy in all the inaccurate whois records?
2-  The cost vs merit for registrars is very small, we know for 
regsitrant doesn't like to put their data public on the internet so how 
can we expect to force our registrants to come and update their old 
data? That will make some of our customers transfer their name to a 
proxy service...
3- The example of .org: we have been asked by PIR to update the phone 
numbers of the old names migrated from VErisign ....ok I will send an 
email to all my .org registrant asking them to update their phone 
number....how many answers i will get and I will get blacklisted for 
SPAM ....and then for the registrants who didn't update their phone 
number I will put +00 9999 99999 so those data will be accurate :-)
I think we messed up around 20 Millions names (before EPP) and it will 
be very hard and even impossible to came around....and only the IP 
lawers will have an interest in that so I guess the registrars just let 
the ball rolling alone.
my 2 cents
