I'm aware of this with .US, is there another example? That's the only one I've ever seen mentioned but there are an Avogadro number of TLDs. Hold on, I found a list...da goog turned up da goog... https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3251242?hl=en .CO.IN, .CO.NZ, .CO.UK, .FR, .IN, .JP, and .US So all are cctlds (country code TLDs), and the first three are for companies (or commercial) which may be what's driving that policy. In many countries if one acts as a commercial entity they must provide public contact information. ICANN (in the metonymous sense) no doubt is aware of this, I wonder if it conflicts with any proposals for this new WHOIS? That page also has a pretty good FAQ on private registration in general. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
