[Rt4-whois] Fwd: CENTR WHOIS data

[Emily Taylor]

FYI

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.

Kind regards

Emily

Hi Emily – ****

** **

Peter Van Roste asked me to give you an overview of data we have on WHOIS in
context of CENTR members. ****

** **

In November 2010, we launched a survey to the membership (25 ccTLDs
responded) which included questions on the following: ****

** **

**·         **The type of data which can be hidden in the WHOIS in cases of;
private persons, non-private persons****

**·         **How holders request to hide information in the WHOIS****

**·         **Numbers on the use of proxies to hide data****

** **

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.  ****

** **

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.   ****

** **

Hope this helps, ****

** **

Best Regards****
