[registrars] WHOIS access tiers

[Ross Rader]

I don't mind IRIS as a technology, but I don't see the value in making 
an investment in a technology "just because". There's no business or 
customer value here, so I'm kind of stuck trying to justify why any 
registrar or registry would want to make the investment.
