Yes, but even in Canada, this tool is sometimes [mis]-used to force<br>
people to narrow their requests unnecessarily.<br>
<br>
I don't think it's unreasonable to go one step further and make ICANN<br>
shoulder a high degree of the cost here unless it becomes truly<br>
unreasonable, in which case tailoring the request or offering to let the<br>
requestor pay should be the remedy. They get all these revenues from<br>
DNS, may as well put them to good use.<br>

In Canada, when it is, you just have to pay the extra work load and/or<br>
material to get it, and they offer you to refine your search instead<br>
and work with you on your request. There is no way that a no is<br>
acceptable.<br>
<br>
Big item for transparency and accountability IMO.<br>

In some jurisdictions this can be a legitimate reason for denial if<br>
the request is too burdensome.<br>
