RE: [ga] Vint why do none of the NIC's have any way to inform them of WHOIS data that is wrong...

["John Berryhill" <john@johnberryhill.com>]

Todd,

You are barking up the wrong tree.

ICANN doesn't even maintain proper whois data for an entire TLD - .cx.

The whois data for the .cx TLD lists a company which has been defunct for
three years.

And you think they are going to fix second-level domain registrations?

Dream on.

John
