until we know how the data will be used. It is conceivable that registrars could analyze this data to get an idea of which newly created domains are being used for phishing and other kinds of fraud (and then shut down the fraud domains).

The key word is sell. If it was for fraud protection surely the information would be freely transmitted.

Here's a possible use. People interested in buying domains will type them in to see whether they're already in use. If registrars can see which ones get typed in a lot, they'll conclude that they're in demand and raise the prices. |

| You might get dozens of looks for a domain this way
If a domain is spammed, you might get thousands.
If a domain is used as part of a forged sender address in spam, you might get 100,000.
It is difficult to know how this will be used. |
