nature of the registrant, and I don’t believe that the two successful RSEPs that have granted exemptions to Whois requirements involved that kind of question.

only for objects that are older than x minutes; in this way, the WHOIS database is made of specific entries like "example.TLD - datetime of cached query - query result", where result can be both the information or the non-existence of the domain. This database
doesn't have or need transactional capabilities and can be either NoSQL or in-memory depending on registry profile. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

clarifications; they should be called format changes in order to account for their real impact and provide ample time for registries to implement. It also should be noted that since they are not consensus policies, these changes might also be regulated by
RRAs between registries and registrars, so beyond some reasonable time to implement (135 days is possible a starting point since it's the number for RDAP), it might also require to fit into the schedule of allowed changes to registry systems. 180 days is a
condition that is usual in RRAs, so registries with such limitations should be able to get longer exemptions from ICANN. Marked in yellow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
