The survey http://www.icann.org/dnso/whois-survey-en-10jun01.htm is available in English, French, Spanish Russian and Japanese is part of a major international survey which has already been completed by over 2000 respondents. The purpose of the survey is to potentially review the current policy regarding the availability names and addresses associated with the registered holders of domain name (internet addresses). The WHOIS Committee will be reviewing all comments submitted and then drafting a report reflecting the views of the respondents, identifying where there is satisfaction with the WHOIS environment and where improvements to the ICANN WHOIS policy could be considered. All internet users are invited to participate in the survey. A preliminary report will be given to the Names Council meeting during the ICANN Montevideo, Uruguay meeting, scheduled between the 7-10th September 2001.
