include removing old and outdated terminology. While the terms
"WHOIS" and "SWIP" are popular in the community, they are
protocols and methods which are being replaced by new modern
protocols and methods. The language should be updated to reflect
those new terms or use generic terms such as directory services or
registration records.<br>
