Aug, 2001 : DNSO Names Council Whois Survey to Close Tomorrow

📅 August 13, 2001 -

Marina del Rey, California, USA (13 August 2001) The period for responses to the ICANN Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO) survey on the Internet domain-name system's Whois system closes tomorrow, 14 August 2001. The Whois system provides public information about registrations of domain names. The online survey, which was originally posted on 10 June 2001, seeks information from users about several aspects of the Whois system, including their use of the Whois system, their views on its utility, and their needs for various Whois features. The survey is available in several languages, which may be reached through the following links:

English
French
Japanese
Russian
Spanish

The survey is part of the Whois Committee's detailed review of the domain-name system's Whois system to potentially formulate recommendations for policy improvements. The Committee will be reviewing all comments submitted and then drafting a report reflecting the views of the respondents, identifying where there is satisfaction with the Whois environment and where improvements to Whois policy could be considered.

The Whois Committee will give its preliminary report at the Names Council meeting during the ICANN Montevideo, Uruguay meeting, on Saturday, 8 September 2001.
