Under clause 11.2 of the new (post revolution:-) Registrar Agreement,
Registrars must update the registry database within one week of
receiving updated contact details from a registrant.

In my humble opinion the solution to outdated data is not to create
lots of little databases, it is to ensure that registrars update
the new central registry database as much as possible, and that
registrants give updated details to their registrar as often as
possible.
