As far as listing additional contact information in the WHOIS database.
I encourage providers to exchange contact information for the person(s)
who is knowledgeable about the process and emergency shutdown
procedures.  However, I am beginning to think the WHOIS database
operated by NSI no longer best serves the network operation community.
I see little purpose in adding additional fields to a database which
is so full of useless information already.  Listing good contact
information just results in those contacts becoming overwhelmed by
spammers, vigilantes and UUNET telemarketing.  The occasional
appropriate message is likely to be lost, or not acted upon because
of contact fatigue.

How about a whois that requires the requestor to be a tech contact for a
domain?
