Re: [ga] "whois" survey

[Joop Teernstra <terastra@terabytz.co.nz>]

An example of the bias from the survey introductory text:

"Names are also are registered by individuals who are holding names to 
resell, or possibly use in the future. It is the disclosure of data about 
individuals' registrations that has raised privacy issues."

No mention is made of  the common occurrence of registration for actual 
personal use in the present.

Example of the restriction in choice:

What was the general purpose of your registration:
a.commercial
b.governmental
c.personal
d.noncommercial organization
e.other

There is no possibility to tick more than one choice, while DNames could 
have been registered for any or all of these purposes.

Perhaps the survey can be adapted to correct these obvious shortcomings?
