    Thank you for suggestion, numbered 2014.9, in which you asked that
    your<br>
    information not be anonymized in our Whois directory service. Our
    Whois<br>
    service provides contact information, for network operation
    purposes,<br>
    associated with a large set of IP addresses (known as a "block"),
    usually<br>
    referring either to contacts associated with an Internet Service
    Provider<br>
    (ISP) or organization that received its space directly from ARIN. It
    does<br>
    not provide listings or contact information for individual IP
    addresses.<br>
    <br>
    As such, your suggestion is unfortunately out-of-scope, and we are
    unable<br>
    to assist you. This suggestion will now be closed.<span
