hm in that same doc:
---
"My newly registered domains did not show up on whois server of {insert
ICANN registrar here}, does that mean someone still can register my domain
through other registrars?
No, absolutely not. Whois servers are just informational reflections of the
root nameservers, it can take several hours for them to catch up with
newly-registered domains. It's the root nameservers that make the difference
in who owns a domain, not whois servers. "
---
why are you talking here about root *nameservers* ? they aren't also
authoritative who owns the domain. isn't there another database?
regards,
doytchin
P.S. for example if you haven't specified nameservers for a domain
there will not be present any records in the root nameservers about
that domain name, but it will not be available for registration.
