for volunteers to form a Drafting Team to develop a survey to estimate the

Whois Service Requirements Report of 29 July 2010 have in the ICANN community.

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">In
May 2009 by the GNSO Council requested that staff prepare a compilation of
potential future requirements for WHOIS service, based on current requirements
and a review of previous GNSO WHOIS policy discussions. This resolution
reflected increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS service is
deficient in a number of ways, including data accuracy and reliability, as
well as in other technical areas noted in recent SSAC reports, such as
accessibility and readability of WHOIS contact information in an international
environment. The report is a compendium of potential technical requirements
and makes no policy recommendations. Some of the potential technical
requirements included in the report are the following: a mechanism to find
authoritative WHOIS servers; structured queries; a standardized set of query
capabilities; a well-defined schema for replies; standardized error messages;
improved quality of domain registration data; internationalization; security
elements; thick vs. thin WHOIS; and a Registrar abuse point of contact. Staff
published a first draft of the report 26 March 2010, solicited input from SOs
and ACs, and posted a draft final report reflecting SO and AC input on 31 May.
