Re: Regestry Identifiers

[John Harvey <john.harvey@dir.org>]

Hmmm... I have read somewhere there are to be 150 new iTLD over the next
five years. I am unsure if this number is correct but are there
provisions for interoperability of iTLD registry "look-up" databases?

Is each registry expected to operate a whois or whois++ server or is
there scope for a "communal" registry database lookup?
