From CJBK.com:
It's long been standard for website registrars to publicly provide detailed contact information for individuals who own domain names under dot-ca and dot-com through an easy Internet search called a Whois (pronounced who-is).Also reported by the Canadian Press and Domain Name Wire.The Canada Internet Registration Authority says it will buck [this] trend by June 10, instituting new privacy policies that will protect private information from roaming eyes.
The detailed information contained in whois databases has long been exploited by spammers and scammers. If successful, this move could attract the attention of other national registrars.
