IRIS is a protocol based on HTML. Not a search application.
In order to use this, ARIN staff would have to learn XML, learn IRIS,
build a better search application that accepts queries via IRIS, and
then develop an IRIS client that runs on Windows, Mac OS/X and Unix.
This is a multi-year 6 figure project and it still doesn't address the
real issues which are illicit copying of the whois database and the
functionality of the search engine that sits behind the scenes.
