"For example, some have pointed out that "determining the availability
of domain names" ought not to be a legitimate purpose for gaining access
to the full Whois record.  On the one hand, merely knowing whether or
not the domain name is available does not provide sufficient information
to a party who may wish to inquire about purchasing it.  On the other
hand, perhaps this sort of query is something that the OPoC could pass
along to the registrant.  It might be worthwhile for sub-group (a) to
consider language that would cover this sort of query."
