<div>Ok, but why do you need the whois data?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’d agree that it shouldn’t be via email anyway – that makes zero sense</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Michele,<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the positive feedback.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do agree with you that a public WHOIS has issues due to privacy conflicts. However in the Zimbabwean scenario for one to get the WHOIS details you need to email the Registries requesting the details. In this case anyone can get the WHOIS details. Since
anyone can get the WHOIS details it may be much better if we can have a public WHOIS database with the option for protecting the WHOIS details if you do do need them to be public. This option can be much better since you can choose to keep your details private
through Privacy Protection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now the issue comes when you have to wait a day or two even more to get a response to your WHOIS request. Having it online will ensure getting the WHOIS details instantly making the experience much better.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best Regards,</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>Interesting post.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However I’m a bit confused by one of your points:</div>
<div>“An online public and accurate WHOIS database”</div>
<div>Public whois is problematic in many jurisdictions due to privacy conflicts</div>
<div>Also I don’t see how public whois is linked to “success” or “growth”</div>
<div><br>
