working with the staff at ICANN to assist in any way necessary.

) There has been some confusion about the naming of the new .org whois
for
) port 43 service.  As noted now on our web site, and also in other
posts,
) it can be found at:
)
) whois.publicinterestregistry.net

Will rs.internic.net eventually provide referals to the appropriate
whois
servers, or will there be a "smarter" referer somewhere along the lines?
