Hi all,

 

Interesting study re WHOIS proxy/privacy services.  The summary:

 

 

 The main objective of this study was to establish baseline information to 
inform the community on the prevalence of the use of privacy and proxy services 
when registering domain names. The preliminary results from the initial coding 
of a random sample of two thousand four hundred domain names registered under 
the top 5 gTLDs reveal that anywhere from approximately 15 to 25 percent are 
likely to have been registered using a privacy or proxy service.

Public Comment: Draft Report on Domain Names Registered Using a Privacy or 
Proxy Service 


1 October 2009

ICANN, assisted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), recently 
completed a draft of its study of the percentage of domain names registered 
using a privacy or proxy service. Today, that draft report is being posted for 
review and comment through 6 November 2009. 

The findings in the report identify a percentage range of domain names that 
appear to have been registered using a privacy or proxy service. To inform this 
study, ICANN relied on a random sample of 2400 domain names drawn in March 2009 
from the universe of domain names registered under the top 5 gTLDs (i.e., .com, 
.net, .org, .biz, and .info). 

Community members are invited to review the draft report and its findings and 
comment on all aspects of the report.
