\quote Currently, registrants store registration records, and anyone can go to a number of sites that use the WHOIS query and response protocol to retrieve all the public information. The working group agrees with critics that the system in use today provides too much inaccurate information, and fails to protect the privacy of individuals and entities with a legitimate right to keep the information out of the public domain. Critics of the working group's proposal agree that the system is broken, but disagree with the recommendation that the openness of today be replaced with a system that is closed by default. Under the proposed system, individuals or entities that want registration would have to apply to a central authority for "access credentials to the ARDS." \unquote ____________________________ Best A.
