[comments-whois] WHOIS Information Opt-out for Individuals


Title: Message
Taking into consideration that the introduction of the .name extension is precisely to cater for the use of Domain Names by "individuals," and that the ICANN current policy of requiring that all companies, businesses and organizations license their WHOIS Contact Information for use by inquiring third parties excludes "individuals" from this obligation, then "individuals" registering a .name domain, unlike any other legal entity, should continue to be allowed, in compliance with the E.U. and U.K. Data Protection Act, to opt-out from the publishing of their personal data in WHOIS searches or for that matter in any other way, shape, or form.
