* Carsten Schiefner:
of course, I can't speak for every DNS operator, but DENIC denying the transfer of the .de zone has no other reason than data protection, ie. making the harvesting of contact data of some 9 million plus domain name holders by just piping the zone through the whois impossible.
Your claim is absurd. The real privacy issue comes form forced publication of WHOIS data. As a member of the DENIC executive board, you certainly know that, so please stop spreading such misinformation.
