Types of WHOIS Queries. Registry Operator will support queries for Summary, Standard, Detailed, or Extensive Whois data. Summary and Standard Whois Data (No Password Required) Summary and Standard Whois data is available to the general public at no cost. This data is useful for searches to check whether a .name domain already exists or whether there is a similar .name domain in existence. Summary Whois queries provide very limited information, such as whether a domain name exists and its registration status. Standard Whois queries about domain-name registrations will provide more information, including: registrar ID, registrant ID, admin ID, technical ID, billing ID, Nameserver ID, Creation Date, and Expiration Date. No personally identifiable data relating to the registrant is available from this query. Registry Operator reserves the right to revoke access for any requestor found to be using the Summary or Standard Whois data for marketing purposes, spamming, or other improper or unlawful purposes. For the fields contained in returned Summary or Standard Whois results, and an example of a returned record, please see the output specification and examples below. Detailed and Extensive Whois Data (Password Protected) Queries for Detailed or Extensive Whois data require a password. Each query type has its own requirements for password distribution, described in detail below. Detailed Whois Data To receive a password for the Detailed Whois data a requestor must complete the online application available at xxxx://xxxxx.xxx.xxxx. The application process is open to the general public. Passwords will be issued to requestors by e-mail or fax. To acquire a password, users must agree (via a click through license) not to use the data for marketing purposes, spamming, or other improper or unlawful purposes.

A fee of US$2 may be charged for the five passwords. Registry Operator may, in its discretion, not charge the US$2 fee and require requestors instead to authenticate themselves using a credit card or other personally identifiable information. Passwords obtained through the interface at xxxx://xxxxx.xxx.xxxx for Detailed Whois searches are valid for 24 hours and may be used using either the web-based or port 43 Whois interface.
