The only part I have difficulty agreeing with is using Zone Transfers to gather statistics. This is not what Zone Transfers are intended for. Perhaps it is okay if we allow one or two sites to do this but then what right have we got to restrict anyone else?
If you needed zone transfer data to deliver a service for which you charged a fee, I am sure you would have a different view.
If people want statistics I suggest we mandate that these should be produced by Domainz and made available on a Web page for everyone to see. This seems to me much more practical.
Looks more like an attempt to gain monopoly control of public data to build the value of the DOMAINZ brand. Higgins and O'Brien must be laughing all the way to the bank. They say jump and you lot say "how high?".
