RE: [registrars] Transfers: The whois issue

<div>Marc,</div>

<div>Curious why you think there will be storm? In any event, you're
right, I think whois access is an issue that needs to be addressed. But
it may be best to wait until the current whois task forces have
completed their work.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In the meantime, if any registrar has problems with any Go Daddy
Group registrar (GoDaddy.com, Wild West Domains, or Blue Razor Domains)
please let me know and I'll get you added to our white list.<BR></div>

am<BR>To: registrars@xxxxxxxx<BR><BR>Hi,<BR><BR>I am not sure if we had
an agreement in the past that mandates registrars to <BR>open their
whois for other registrars? The issue just came up during our <BR>tests
with the new transfer policy for thin registries (actually the thin
<BR>registry). Many registrars have a threshhold on their whois to
prevent <BR>datamining. This may be a little low for the upcoming
transfer policy whois <BR>storm. Is there any recommended procedure,
e.g. a list of registar contacts<BR>that would take care of raising the
threshhold for our systems?<BR><BR>Yours,<BR>Marcus </BLOCKQUOTE>
