[policy-wg] Changes to the AfriNIC WHOIS Server

[Frank]

Changes to AfriNIC WHOIS Server

1) Email Filtering

By default the AfriNIC WHOIS Server filters out attributes that contain
email addresses to limit abuse. 

To get the original output, users can turn this off  by using the -B flag
when querying for an object. 

This is done for you automatically when querying the WHOIS server from our
web client (http://whois.afrinic.net)


2) Deprecated "Trouble" Attribute

The trouble attribute in the role object has been deprecated. 
 
Please use the remarks attribute for providing information on "trouble"
issues.


Thanks.
