So you consider any registrar that is not sponsor of that contact to
not be third party, is that right?
In other words: The disclose flag is completely ignored for every
contact:info command from any registrar. It is solely used to
determine if the affected contact-data is handed out to entities
outside of the registry, like public whois-service.
