WEBINAR: WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System Phase I Report

ICANN plans to publish the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System Phase I report
in the coming weeks. This webinar, scheduled for 26 August 2015, will focus
on the findings of the report and its implications for the community.

Participants will learn about the results of the Phase 1 Syntactical
Validation Study, which measured the overall syntactical (formatting)
accuracy of WHOIS records. The results will include comparisons based on
Registrar Accreditation Agreements (2009 RAA v. 2013 RAA), top-level domain
types (e.g., new or "legacy" gTLDs) and across ICANN regions.

The WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System is an ICANN initiative born out of
recommendations from the 2012 WHOIS Review to improve oversight of the WHOIS
 Program. ICANN committed to proactively identifying potentially inaccurate
gTLD WHOIS contact data and forwarding potentially inaccurate records to
gTLD registrars for investigation and follow up. A pilot study conducted in
2014, which acted as a proof of concept of this system, was designed with
the intention of testing its key components so the framework could be
leveraged to develop repeatable processes to produce assessments. Phase 1
takes lessons learned from the pilot study and operationalizes the Accuracy
Reporting System. The Phase 1 report will provide information to the
community on overall WHOIS accuracy, leading types of nonconformances
(based on the applicable Registrar Accreditation Agreement), and data that
ICANN's Compliance team will be required to follow up on with registrars
regarding potentially inaccurate records.
