More often then not, registrants forget which email address they have setup for the registrant contact; so when they want to transfer their domain they rely on their new registrar to streamline the process for them. It is common practice to advise the new client of the email address currently set as the registrant contact; so that they can check it and approve the domain transfer. Registrant contact information for domains sponsored by other registrars is now only available through the captcha'd WHOIS. It's about customer service. -----Original Message----- From: dns-bounces+m.mcgoogan=aussiehq.com.au§dotau.org [mailto:dns-bounces+m.mcgoogan=aussiehq.com.au§dotau.org] On Behalf Of David Keegel Sent: Sunday, 26 November 2006 1:56 PM To: .au DNS Discussion List Subject: Re: [DNS] New WHOIS Michael, Can you give some examples of why au domain registrars would need to use whois in their systems, rather than whois-check or EPP?
