Unfortunately according to the agreements OpenSRS signs (and you yourself
as RSPs, and the Exhibit A) the whois contact information MUST be
accurate. If it's not and the domain owner cannot be contacted, the
domain can be shutdown.
Yes, I know there's HORDES of examples of domains that are "bad" - I'm
not saying it NEVER happens. It shouldn't happen - and if a ruckus is
caused by far too many people supplying false information we, as a
Registrar, may be forced to take action.
Just so ya know - don't worry, we've not had to do it yet... and for those
that are watching the numbers and know how many domains are under
OpenSRS...
