Hi Stephanie.

I do not believe anyone has “demanded" that WHOIS become a “low grade cert authority”, so there isn’t any need (or request) to “fix WHOIS to do that”.  Note however that the current WHOIS system does support this use case today.  I’m sure there are those who may feel it shouldn’t but it is what it is.

Anyway I’d be more than happy to fill you in on the high level technical and businessl details here, but wanted to push back just a tiny little bit on your mis-characterization of the use case expressed in an earlier thread.

It is a nice little article, and we should definitely add RDAP related protocols to the list.  As for the various authentication systems possible....That may be controversial, but I think we need to have the authentication requirements spec'ed out.  (and costed out, but I guess that comes later) I am concerned that some folks are demanding that WHOIS, such as it is, act as some kind of low grade cert authority at the moment, for various purposes.  There is no affordable way of fixing WHOIS to do that, but we do need ID authentication and various trust levels to do the tiered access we recommended in the EWG report.

But I am not the techie here....

This offers the possibility of implementing a new paradigm for management and processing of registration data.

Our EWG colleague Scott Hallenbeck knows a few things about this.
