RE: [registrars] DROA mining data via our easywhois site

Mark,
It appears like a human. The queries are 7 minutes, 5 minutes, 32 minutes,
and 8 minutes apart. Let's not blow that up to the word 'Harvesting'. I am
sure they have SOME valid customers and they need to do a whois.

Jay

Subject: [registrars] DROA mining data via our easywhois site


So I have logs documenting DROA machine harvesting whois data via our 
easywhois.com universal whois lookup. It's no newsflash that they are 
harvesting data, but now I have logs showing they are doing it.

Enom: Aren't these guys one of your resellers?

Is there any will within ICANN at all to enforce the rules against this?
