Whois database in jeopardy of being scrapped. From the page: "some privacy advocates are proposing scrapping the system entirely because they can’t agree with the people who use the system on how to give domain name owners more options when they register - such as designating third-party agents. Privacy advocates say individuals shouldn’t have to reveal personal information simply to have a Web site.
The so-called "sunset" proposal is expected to come up Wednesday before a committee of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, a key Internet oversight agency."

Really strange that this story isn’t garnering more attention
