New Owner of Amiga.org to be on Amiga Roundtable.

[MickJT]

No one here has any inaliable "right" to know anything at all about the owner(s).

Hi Wayne, first time i've posted anything about this issue here.

No-one has a "right". Correct. Some countries have laws (like above poster says) about what must be in the WHOIS information. Australia is pretty strict on it's own auTLD domains.

However, it is a requirement of accredited .org registrars to make sure the WHOIS information is accurate. If not, they are in breach of ICANN's conditions.

It's an old announcement, but it's still current.

Here's another: http://www.icann.org/en/gnso/whois-tf/report-19feb03.htm


So, no we don't have a "right"... but you're basically admitting to breaching the Terms and Conditions of your domain registration... or if the registrar is notified, then they are required to change it to the correct information. It's easy enough to prove it's not correct right now.

Edit: FYI, "NameSecure" is an ICANN accredited registrar.

There's a lot more info at: http://epic.org/privacy/whois/

Until such time, flatly stated.  "I'm sorry, you're wrong, thanks for playing".

OK

Can I just point that I don't want my account closed, nor do I mind who owns Amiga.org, nor will it stop me from being an active member here.

I'm just a curious cat, so I looked up the relevant policies and presented them as I interpreted them.. since I wanted to know who the new owners were I tried!

Edit: Cammy, you're welcome on both. AW has a culture of people who speak their mind, however harsh their comments may be, and expect the same done back to them.. I personally try to be polite so I don't get people jumping down my throat.. but I don't mind a good argument every now and then. We all miss you on IRC too.
