As the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG), we have
proposed a paradigm shift - a new system in which gTLD registration data is
collected, validated and disclosed for permissible purposes only, with some
data elements being accessible only to authenticated requestors that are
then held accountable for appropriate use. Our objective is to reexamine and
define the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD directory data,
consider how to safeguard the data, and propose a next generation solution
that will better serve the needs of the global Internet community.

In our
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-repor
t-24jun13-en.pdf> Initial Report [PDF, 1.7 MB], we identify the design
features and principles that we think are essential in this new system, and
a proposed Model for the next generation data directory services to replace
WHOIS. 

Help shape this paradigm shift by sharing your reaction to our
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-repor
t-24jun13-en.pdf> recommendations [PDF, 1.7 MB] and answering the questions
linked below (click on "Share Your Thoughts"). Did we meet our objective? Do
the recommendations address your concerns? How can we make them better?

More Information


Our work stems from the Board's
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-08nov12-en.htm>
directive to redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data,
while balancing data accuracy and access issues with safeguards for
protecting data. We considered the important community work done over the
last decade by the GNSO, the SSAC, the WHOIS Review Team, the GAC and
others. Our
<https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-repor
t-24jun13-en.pdf> Initial Report [PDF, 1.7 MB] reflects our consensus view
of the design principles and features needed for a new system. Our proposed
Model highlights how these design principles and features could be fulfilled
in the ICANN domain ecosystem.


What's Next?


We will consider your input and present a final report containing our
recommended design principles, features, and suggested Model to ICANN's CEO
and Board when our work is concluded. This output will feed into a
Board-initiated GNSO policy development process to serve as a foundation for
the GNSO's creation of new consensus policy, and contractual negotiations,
as appropriate.
