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... --------------------------------------------------------- "Go away... I'm all right." - Last words of H. G. Wells
