</span>Not that whois data for domain names has been particularly useful for the<br class="">
past decade anyhow since most TLDs and registrars either provide for free,<br class="">
or sell as an addon, "private" registration via some "proxy corporation" or<br class="">
whatever. Domain name whois for most TLDs has not been the sort of<br class="">
accountability measure that ICANN seems to think it is for a very long<br class="">
time, at least in practice.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'd be much more concerned about RIPE's whois data for <div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;display:inline"></div>AS and IP address<br class="">
maintainers.<br class="">
