[registrars] Regarding WHOIS data

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello All,

It is interesting to see that there have also been problems with
information provided to telephone companies (name, address, telephone
no), where the information has been data mined and provided to other
parties for direct marketing purposes.

Here is an Australian Government discussion paper on the topic that may
be of use for the WHOIS task force discussions.   It is called "Who's
Got Your Number?"
