:confused: Does anyone know if the Snowe Bill has passed into law or still pending?

Still pending. Not sure if one of its sponsors, Sen. Ted Stevens, being indicted will make any dent.

So this provision:

"A registrant will provide accurate domain name ownership and contact information to the WHOIS database in a timely manner so that domain name ownership is transparent. While a registrant may use a proxy service or other accepted means of privacy protection, a registrant should provide a timely response to any inquiry passed on via such proxy or related service or received directly when such service has complied with a lawful request for contact information." is upsetting many domainers?

It's more than that, uragon. Read the non-trademark portions.

When does it ends?

True...I read the whole bill as proposed to Congress. Many will be happy and many will have more paperwork...
