[registrars] DROA mining data via our easywhois site

[Nitin Agarwal]

My guess is this problem will go away once RRP is gone and auth codes are 
required.

I doubt they have much success getting the registrants to get the auth code 
since most of them don't realize its a transfer.

Thanks,
Nitin Agarwal
