Domain name registrars may have to make private information about owners of .us domain names public. GoDaddy.com already has pulled out of the .us domain registration business. Will this go any further than .us?

Yesterday, GoDaddy.com, to avoid being de-credited, discontinued offering private .US domain name registrations.

Existing private .US registrations owners will have to decide between losing their domain or making their personal information public. GoDaddy.com will also notify its customer base next week, that those who have purchased private .US registrations will have to make a choice by January 26, 2006. They will have to decide between having their personal information made public, or, canceling their domain name(s).
