The main usefulness of a publicly available whois is as a way to get
the registry out of the litigation loop.<br>
It also helps the registry get out of other dispute stuff which a
registry should not be involved in (content disputes etc).<br>
<br>
Obviously, and particularly, in the case of a ccTLD, local
legislation has precedence.<br>

<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>
