But if the community perceives that the amount of information disclosed 
in the public database is not adequate to the needs (and I personally 
regretted to be unable to get the informations that RFG is talking about, 
several times!), then new information could be supplied in the whois after
asking for consent from the resource holder, no ?

So perhaps we can take this opportunity to discuss an extension of
the data shown in the public whois.
