Let's clear up the first set of issues and identify who the actors are, then see if this is an EPP issue, or a registry-on-the-brink-of-anarchy feature. [HL] I don't think the last part of the sentence is of relevance to this discussion. James Seng raised this issue a year ago (Feb 7), if I understand the problem posed. [HL] If that was discussed before, I would like to know the result of the discussion. Any pointer would be appreciated. > The second question has to do with whois. This isn't an EPP issue. [HL] I asked the question because whois was suggested by Scott and Patrik as out-of-band means to getting the job done. What I want to make sure is that whether ALL host objects created in the registry are available for query in the whois database. Eric
