    Plans if ICANN exposes your whois info?

    Curious what all of you plan to do if you lose your whois proxy. Fake it till ya make it? I changed all my info to fake stuff.

    I figure the porn industry would have some serious lobbying in Washington against this.

    We will find out on the 5th what will happen. Been in the news a bit lately.

      I have an office. I don't care who knows where it is or that I run by business from it. That's what it's for.

      Spend you some brain.

          Websites are just a side job for me.

          Don't want family\employers knowing what kinda sites i run.

          lol i could just see it. Employer looks my name up and sees that i own a website that focuses on gay dwarf big cock sex.

          I guess getting a PO box with a LLC could be an option.

                  Get a DBA name or an LLC, a mail box drop or PO Box and fuck it.

                      Yup, Never use fake addresses or info. I use an LLC for my porn businesses. It's not hard to set up and it saves you hassles in the long run.

                          Well first, ICAAN would have to hold years of committee meetings in exotic places with your domain registration fees paying the tab ...

                          Don't expect a prompt policy change from ICANN.

                          Secondly, this runs a foul of various governmental privacy laws, the EU in particular.

                          https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gac...sory+Committee

                          They haven't referred the matter to the Governmental Advisory Committee yet

                          Don't sound battle stations just yet -- it's just a proposal by an IP troll, MonitorMark.

                                  PO Box is the way to go. If the business is registered, the info is publicly available anyway isn't it?
                                  yes

                                      I use the UPS store so I can accept express packages which most PO boxes don't. Also use a voip service so I don't share my normal phone numbers.

                                          Post office box owner records:

                                          You need a subpoena or a court order.

                                          If you file a DBA, LLC or Corporation it is public record.
                                          But you may have to pay (e.g.; fees $5 or a page ) and/or appear personally to get addresses of the filing principals or stockholders.

                                                      Thanks for the info guys. I am gunna look into setting up a LLC today with a UPS mailbox. Probably better to do that anyways and protect my personal assets from any possible lawsuits in the future.

                                                      And as far as me reading up about what happens to domains with fake info.. yea. If my name and addy was exposed I wouldn't want the domains anymore anyways so they would be doing me a favor. Since I am gunna look into a LLC I will switch it all back for now.

                                                      Yea I don't know why I got all alarmed. I am very political and know how long that shit takes to get pushed through. Maybe Reid and Boehner can exchange BJs while they fast track it : )

                                                                  Wrong info, yes. If ICANN gets multiple complains for a domain or just if the address looks shady (like some ass clown recently on GFY ripping people off but his address was some Pakistan address with Cyprus as the country) things that are too obvius like that, it will automatically trigger an ICANN request, they will ask the registar to ask you to confirm your address and email. If you fail to comply within 3 months, and they do their check again, they will seize the domain, then give you X number of days to reply to them directly to confirm. Failure to do so will render the domain deleted/sold.

                                                                    Comment
