                                                          The reality is

                                                          eventually
                                                          eliminated

                                                          What the above

                                                          many different
                                                          registrars.&nbsp; I
                                                          do not believe<br>
                                                          that any

                                                          access
                                                          controls,
                                                          because it can
                                                          be expensive
                                                          to answer such
                                                          things.<br>
                                                          So, what you
                                                          understood me
                                                          to be asking,
                                                          I think, is
                                                          the question I<br>
                                                          did _not_ ask:
                                                          given this
                                                          human being or
                                                          organization,
                                                          what other<br>
                                                          domains are
                                                          registered?"&nbsp;
                                                          That does
                                                          require a lot
                                                          of different
                                                          data,<br>
                                                          and it
                                                          requires
                                                          cross-organizational
                                                          searches, and
                                                          it requires
                                                          sussing<br>
                                                          out when
                                                          someone has
                                                          lied also.&nbsp;
                                                          Such research
                                                          is, I agree,
                                                          completely<br>
                                                          outside the
