[AfrICANN-discuss] Zimbabwe Holds its First DNS Workshop, Could this be a Step towards Better DNS Management?

[calvin at orange-tree.alt.za]

The main usefulness of a publicly available whois is as a way to get the 
registry out of the litigation loop.
It also helps the registry get out of other dispute stuff which a 
registry should not be involved in (content disputes etc).

Obviously, and particularly, in the case of a ccTLD, local legislation 
has precedence.
