Dear Susan, RT members, While we're discussing "soft laws" the actual mode Whois is implemented and conducted still have some flaws and it's a real issue to deal with. Eventually it's the final user "window". Regards, Omar 2011/9/12 Susan Kawaguchi <susank@fb.com>:

I ran across this WHOIS record today and couldn’t resist sending it to the team. I have reported it to ICANN but it seems to me that a registrar could easily put mechanisms in place that would not allow a registration lacking so much information.

Susan, We see hundreds of these meaningless records a day - mainly computer generated algorithms.
