I heard a rumor that the InterNic is no longer going to make contact information public. Is this true? If I do a "whois," will I no longer get contact info? Can someone shed light on this rumor?
I didn't hear anything like that from the various NSI folks at ISPCON; doesn't mean it isn't true, but I'd say it's unlikely. More likely, this is a misunderstanding of what they /did/ do, which is stop making the zone files for .COM, .NET, and .ORG anonymously FTP'able. If you can prove you've got a good reason to FTP 'em, they'll give you a login and password; I know of a few people who've done it already. For more rumours of this type, check out the inet-access mailing list, <inet-access-request@earth.com>. ********************************************************* J.D.
