That just sounds like a minor change to fix this, a bug. No need to burn down the house to kill a mosquito. And my suggestion to move the publicly visible WHOIS information into the DNS and thus completely under the domain owner's control would fix this with minimal effort from the registrant. I tend to doubt tho that this is a significant reason for the proposed changes. On April 20, 2018 at 16:20 rubensk () gmail com (Rubens Kuhl) wrote:

There are various privacy options available when one registers a domain, generally a matter of checking a box and usually free. Those privacy options work until one wants to transfer a domain to a different registrar. Almost always that will imply in a brief removal of privacy, during which an adversary (either a nation-state or some Sideshow Bob-type wacko) will learn the true identity of the domain holder.
