That's odd, it's supposed to be an internet-draft. Not that I've actually read it, but ....
Then I suggest that you do. I wouldn't sign the NDA, but you might.
The point; there's plenty of mud to go around. It's about time that you guys got involved enough to fix it, instead of piss-and-moan.
That's right. We have redundant DNS root servers, why do we have a single point of failure in the whois? So, we need 5 volunteers to step up and be our chosen whois mirrors.
With SRS, this is no longer possible as the whois data is already distributed among NSI's channel market, the Registrars. Each are independent entities. The only real target you have to fire at is the ICANN. GFL ... they're broke.
