FYI<br><br>CENTR has promised to share some WHOIS data with us. They have also said that one of their newest surveys deals with the circumstances in which opted out WHOIS data is shared with third parties. This will not be ready for a few weeks at least. But I will share with you when we have the aggregated data.<br>

<div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-AU"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi Emily – <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Peter Van Roste asked me to give you an overview of data we have on WHOIS in context of CENTR members. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">In November 2010, we launched a survey to the membership (25 ccTLDs responded) which included questions on the following: <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<u></u> <u></u></p><p><u></u><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><u></u>The type of data which can be hidden in the WHOIS in cases of; private persons, non-private persons<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><u></u>How holders request to hide information in the WHOIS<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><u></u>Numbers on the use of proxies to hide data<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Previous to this survey, another survey on WHOIS took place in late 2009 which focused on the more fundamental aspects of WHOIS – technical barriers (CAPTCHA, limits on queries, type of WHOIS access (website/command line/other), misuse of WHOIS from third parties, etc. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Aggregate use of the data is a possibility. We would of course in this case appreciate being cited as well as knowing in advance the intended use of the data. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hope this helps, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Best Regards<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
