Can someone from OpenSRS explain why the e-mail address and phone number 
were added? They are not required under ICANN policy:

  http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-10may02.htm

Unless there is a new ICANN policy that requires this (in which case 
there should have been a big announcement about it), this is 
unacceptable. That's especially true in light of Ross's recent posts 
about his own domain WHOIS, which indicate that at least some people at 
OpenSRS know better.

I assume it will be changed back to the previous format immediately... 
hint, hint...
