ICANN Releases Draft Whois Privacy Reports - Three task forces at ICANN, the domain name coordination group, have released for public comment reports on policy issues surrounding the Whois database of domain name registration information. The reports examine the mining of Whois domain name holder data by advertisers, privacy protections for Whois data, and the accuracy of Whois information. CDT has called for a balanced Whois policy that does more to protect the private information of individuals who register domain names - an approach endorsed by one of the task force reports.
