Re: [ga] Reseller hiding WHOIS info
Eric
Doesn't seem to me that Danny was talking about "personal information" at
all, rather he was referring to the contact data of the reseller.
He is also correct in stating that the reseller should be displaying the
registration agreement of the registrar through whom they are procuring
the name. This is spelled out in clause 3.7.7 of the Registrar Accreditation
Agreement.
