I _almost_ object to this, because it's in fact the repository
operator(s) who manage that access (i.e. who set the relevant
operational and policies for a given user class), not the RDS.  The
RDS enforces those access policies, however.  So perhaps

    to enforce access policies to information about registration data in a [g]TLD

?

It need not be just info about domain names, name servers, or
registrars, after all.  (One example that leaps to mind is the
possible variant relations among domain names, which under some
interpretations might not be about "domain names" as such since some
of the strings might _not_ be domain names for various technical reasons).  

Best regards,

A
