Whois (the protocol) is going away
That ship has sailed.

Dear Holly,

For clarity, let me rephrase it: (terminology from Spreadsheet/Sheets)

1. There is a need for RDAP and a need for whois.

2. The problem with the whois protocol as you said, was that the whois protocol wasn't designed for gated access. But the new protocol that is being designed for gated access, solves the problem.  The new protocol, while solving the old problem, need not create a new problem, which is that of making whois unworkable.

The new protocol could both lock away sensitive data while keeping non-sensitive data open for whois queries:

a) Registrant Data for Law and Order:  to allow layered access based on privileges (accorded as timebound or otherwise) to different entities/requesters to different clusters of rows/columns of data
and also
b) Registrant Data for All Users: allow permanent access to a central whois computer to non-sensitive columns/rows of data, which gets stored for access under the name "whois data".

I think you mean, RDAP can be configured to provide access based on whatever it is configured to provide access to.  Given privacy protections globally, I am not sure access to all private data would be granted - not because it could not be provided, but because it should not be provided - that depends on the regulatory framework.

Dear Holly,

The Registration data that would provide gated access (possibly to different layers based on the degree of authenticity or the levels of privilege?) could also concede blanket, open access to the whois to a transparent layer of Registrant data.

Folks

A bit of history. A few years ago, there was a major review of Whois.  One of the many issues identified was simply the term: it has been used to refer to the data collected (as required by the RAA), the protocol or the service.  In the reforms, what was clarified as the terminology - we are talking about registration data (the same stuff required by the RAA), or RDAP - the registration data protocol.  In fact the IETF developed the protocol - RDAP- to greatly improve the functionality of the old WHOIS Protocol - which, amongst other limitations, could not provide gated access and therefore, would not permit compliance with privacy regimes such as the GDPR.

So the data is still that required to be collected under the RAA - it is now called registration data.  The RDAP can be configured to allow gated access to the registration data - as required under the GD
PR. So same data - improved protocol.

Why should RDAP be a replacement? Whois ought to co-exist with it's own purpose, whois in conformity to GDPR (in an appropriate manner), whois redesigned to address concerns also on the need for transparency of commercial webspaces to minimize perhaps the most harmful form of DNS abuse.

Eduardo,

It should not.  In fact RDAP will provide great flexibility for potential solutions for differentiated access.

Will this affect the current EPDP which its main focus has been Whois?
