[gtld-tech] [weirds] Search Engines Indexing RDAP Server Content

[Siemen Roorda]

I would _love_ it for ccTLDs, but unfortunately nic.* is not always the
registry's website. nic.ru is a good example of that. Let alone
registries that do not even know what whois is!

Taking IANA as a leading source is what we do as far as the information
exists, and maybe from that side a 'wrapper' like $tld.whois.iana.org
could be provided. I know there is such functionality around but I've
never found one that is 100% free of errors. (Okay, maybe such feature
on IANA level wouldn't be either, but still...)
