>On a related topic, in researching the TITS.COM domain name cheating issue it

>Right now if one wants to look up the owner of EXAMPLE.COM, one simply goes to

>As more registars come on-line, things won't be as simple. Say a person inputs
>lets say XYZ.COM registered at Register.com in NSI's Whois...it will say the
>domain name is not available or display nothing or error out...none of these
>results will help the person find the owner/contact information for the domain.
>
>In essance people will now have to perform two steps to look up a domain:
>
>1. Determine the registrar at nsiregistry.com
>2. Query the appropriate Whois server
>
>First off many people won't understand this and secondly each registrar may
>display different amounts of information on domains or simple none at all.
>Hopefully others see the problem with such a setup!?

>Also these differences only reiterate that under the current incarnation of the
>multiple registrar system, there exists an accountability/legal problem in
>determining who owns and controls a domain. This is not a trivial matter and I
>would strongly recommend ICANN review how registrar information is coordinated.
>
>The central registry (nsiregistry) *should* in my view contain ALL the records
