Isn't that what current WHOIS privacy is? The way I understand it is that if you currently have WHOIS privacy enabled, technically the domain doesn't belong to you but to the registrar who is providing the WHOIS privacy.
- mappu 11y agoI thought so too, but the occasional restriction (e.g. Namecheap prevent using WhoisGuard on .ca/.uk domains) makes it seem like the technique isn't generally applicable. On second glance the submitted article doesn't specifically mention WHOIS - perhaps i just read too far into it and it's only intended to stop junk data, which is a lot more defensible.
- ehPReth 11y agoThe article doesn't mention WHOIS but there's this paragraph that seems like something WHOIS-like would apply to ccTLDs at the least: >The TPP has just ridden roughshod over that entire debate (at least for country-code top-level domains such as .us, .au and .jp), by cementing in place rules (QQ.C.12) that countries must provide “online public access to a reliable and accurate database of contact information concerning domain-name registrants.”
