  1. Intellectual Property Constituency Jane Mutimear

  2. What do we use the WHOIS for?

  3. What do we use WHOIS for? • Fraudulent email • Websites offering counterfeit or pirated goods • Websites posting trade secrets • Cybersquattors

  4. What do we use? • Registrant name – need for context, negotiation and legal action • Address – need for service of process • Email – need for quick communication • Phone no. – again for quick communication • Fax no – less used, but sometimes useful • Providing it is accurate it is useful

  5. What else would be nice? • Reverse look up – can be important for UDRP cases (pattern of conduct) • Historical data – assist when things go wrong • Field for security interests/pledges – to reflect that some domain names are valuable assets.

  6. What accurate and accessible WHOIS means • Registrars and registries are kept out of the fight – particularly where UDRP/LDRP available • Problems can be addressed quickly. • Action can be taken against the appropriate party when necessary.
