Reforms to the WHOIS database in order to address
growing privacy concerns have once again come to a
halt, leaving a seven-year-old debate to continue on
how much personal information should be displayed to
the public.

The WHOIS Working Group published its Final Outcomes
report (PDF) this week, which detailed nearly three
months' worth of talks, negotiations, and
disagreements among 70 users, service providers, and
law enforcement officials. The group was pulled in two
directions: one by those who want increased privacy
protections for individuals registering domains and
another by those who want easier and quicker access to
WHOIS contact information in order to keep an eye on
bad apples.
