Whois Policy Review Submission

From:		James Clark
Received:	26 October 2004


1.	Should all the information currently displayed, continue to be 
        available as a  result of a whois query?

No.



3. b)	If no – What fields should not be displayed, and why?

Registrant, admin and technical contact physical addresses should not be 
listed, due to previous abuse, Domain Names NZ providing the best example.

The Registrar's physical address should remain.



6.	Do you agree with the current policy position that wild card 
        searches, and bulk whois queries, should not be permitted?

Yes

Why?

Yes, the current policy is good.  The whois is a mechanism that should 
be used to find information about a known domain, not to find available 
domains.



7.	What are your views on the position of InternetNZ to not publish  
        the levels set for monitoring Whois query transactions?

The current position is good.
