WHOIS ARS project was established to
perform periodic studies to assess the
accuracy of the contact information in
the WHOIS data, with a goal of
identifying opportunities to improve
the accuracy of this data over time.
The project was established to
implement a series of improvements
recommended by the WHOIS Review Team
and approved by the Board (8 November
2012) on the manner in which ICANN
carries out its responsibilities
regarding WHOIS.

data will support the next cycle in
the WHOIS ARS, Phase 2 Cycle 2, which
aims to assess syntax and operability
accuracy of the contact information in
a gTLD WHOIS record. Accuracy will be
determined with respect to the
requirements of the WHOIS record’s
applicable version of the Registrar
Accreditation Agreement. ICANN will
pull a sample of approximately 200,000
WHOIS records across the entire gTLD
name space, and will then perform
accuracy testing on a subsample of
those records. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
