George - I'm concerned about this as well. WLS is bad enough, but it
shouldn't be used, in the best case, to spam your customers with a
message you have no control over, or in the worst case, as an excuse to
repatriate registrant information back to the registry. At the very
least, the notification mechanism must be sound (ie - under our mutual
control as reseller/registrar) and more importantly, in our interests to
undertake. Which all presumes of course, that WLS should proceed in the
first place. Still not convinced that it should, but the writing has
been on the wall for many moons.
Regarding repatriation of registrant data, it is bad enough that this
happened with .org - we certainly don't support it happening elsewhere.
We're discussing our response options - we'll keep you folks in the loop.
