[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] 2013 RAA Data Elements

Tue Jun 13 21:19:31 UTC 2017

All:

There are five additional fields in thin output below that are not in red, that I think can be included without controversy.  None involve personally identifiable information, and all have legitimate purposes for being published publicly. They are:

  *   Registry Domain ID
  *   Registrar Abuse Contact Email
  *   Registrar Abuse Contact Phone
  *   Reseller
  *   URL of the ICANN WHOIS Data Problem Reporting System

In addition, a recent  ICANN Consensus Policy requires that registrars and registries to provide info about EPP status codes in output, specifically for the information of registrants.  See: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/policy-awip-2014-07-02-en     This should be included in our "minimum public data set" also.

A bit of explanation of what those fields are:

Registry Domain ID: this is a unique identifier and is useful for differentiating different "lifetimes" of a domain.  For example: someone registers domain1.tld; that domain gets an ID.  A year later the domain expires and is not renewed.  Some time later someone else registers domain1.tld again; this time it will receive a different ID.  Each of those "lifetimes" will have different Domain IDs.  The ID can be used for tracking ownership, billing reference, etc.

Registrar Abuse Contact Email and Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: these were added so people can easily contact the registrar if the domain is being used for malicious purposes.  Among other things, this information is: a) a helpful way to help protect the public and make the Internet safer, and b) useful when the registrar's web site is in a language different from the one you speak.

Reseller: the registrar populates this field if it wants to and it is applicable.  (The field itself is mandatory to display, but filling it is optional, and is it sometimes left blank.)  Purpose: Business Domain Name Purchase/Sale, domain maintenance.  The reseller is usually responsible for providing customer service to the  registered name holder (not the registrar); the reseller is the place to go for account info and login to manage the domain.  Some registrars like to populate this field in WHOIS so registrants and other inquiries are directed to the right party.

URL of the ICANN WHOIS Data Problem Reporting System: provided as a way to encourage data accuracy.

All best,

All,

Per the action item given to staff in today's WG call -

>From the RAA WHOIS requirements for Registrants<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#whois> (2013), below appears a list of gTLD registration data elements.
