WHOIS-Tech Definition:
The Technical Purpose of the gTLD Whois databases is to contain data used to 
find
a contact capable of investigating technical problems involving the 
registration and
technical coordination of a domain name (e.g., lame delegation, incorrect DNS
configuration) and taking action to resolve the problem.

Explanatory note:
Technical problems involving the registration and technical coordination of a
domain name include inappropriate or incorrect domain name server 
configuration data in the registration record (including lame delegation and 
incorrect co
nfiguration of the DNS).  

Technical Expert:
It is the specific recommendation of WHOIS-Tech that the TF call upon the
technical expertise of our members to discuss the day-to-day technical 
problems of
registration and technical coordination, and the use of the technical 
contact.
