RE: whois databases and null fields

Just thought you all might be interested to know that these null fields that
are showing up may seem innocent but they are affecting some other registrars. 
I had a customer use my company to transfer their domain names from NSI, out of
the three domain names only one of them successfully sent him the admin contact
email address the OpenSRS confirmation.  Unfortunately I had to wait another 3
to 4 days before the requests expired so that they could be sent again.

Wanted to give you all a heads up for those of you that use the OpenSRS system.
 I haven't heard any reports of any other registrars having this problem but
still worth keeping a close eye on.

A few nights ago it was worse.  Instead of nulls, the registrar fields
were incorrect indicating a completely different server and registrar
(many of which did not exist or were non-functional.)  The registrant
and nameservers appeared correctly.

Hopefully they will become driven to operational excellence and I've
seen a few steps that way, but money, not process and service, seems to
be driving them for the short term.
