As a member of the DENIC executive board, > you certainly know that, so please stop spreading such misinformation. it's interesting that you appear to know what I "certainly" know... What I indeed know is that DENIC's whois policy is well balanced between the interests of the individual domain name holder and the general public: bulk access to whois data is not possible, but only on a per-domain-name basis - ie. you need to have the domain name at hand to get the appropriate whois data. And besides that there is no other means (aka. 'key' - eg. last name, city of residence etc.) to access that data. This policy, BTW, is in full accordance with the relevant data protection bodies. But may I suggest that we have that discussion off this list - as RIPE's address policy and IPv6 WGs are IMHO the wrong fora to discuss DENIC's whois policy - and moved to a place of your choice? Best, Carsten
