Domainz has announced whois access to the .nz registry at whois.domainz.net.nz http://www.domainz.net.nz/reference/whois.htm Unfortunately it says:- a) Its a trial b) DOMAINZ cannot guarantee accuracy of data I'll ignore the terms of use for the time being. It appears as its a trial, it may be removed without notice. The query results may not be accurate, and there is no way of telling when they are or not The silly thing is that DOMAINZ say the definitive source is the web site CGI which probably is reading the same dataset. We are not interested in a trial that may return bad data. We want a real whois. How can industry have confidence in ISOCNZ when this is all they can come up with? regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
