An expert report released Thursday on the Domain Name System by the National 
Research Council, considered the issue of WHOIS and came to following 
conclusion:
 
"Whois data management and access should be designed to allow for gradations in 
access while maintaining some degree of free access to Whois information."

The report was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National 
Science Foundation, and mandated by the U.S. Congress through Public Law 
105-305.

The report, "Signposts in Cyberspace: The Domain Name System and Internet 
Navigation," is available at ths URL:

The full report also makes recommendations regarding new TLDs (there is no 
technical or operational risk to adding 20-90 TLDs annually), Internet 
governance and DNS (governments should stay out), security (DNSSEC should be 
encouraged) and many other DNS-related topics.
