<title>Should you publish social information about you registrants?</title>
<para>The issue is quite hot: many registries publish, either via
<olink targetdoc="whois-sheet">whois</olink> or with a Web page, informations about the registrants. This
information can be used by spammers or stalkers. But not publishing
them allow other unlawful usages. And this information is very useful
to debug problems.</para>
<para>One possible way out of this dilemna is to understand that you
can publish <emphasis>some</emphasis> information but not all. For
instance :<itemizedlist>
      <listitem><para>Publishing data only for active domains, not for
reserved ones,</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem><para>Publishing only the name of the registrant,
      forcing to use the contacts to... contact.</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>
</para>
