[gtld-tech] WHOIS Data Collection ­ Phase 2 Cycle 2 of WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS)

Russ
Did that group include people with a good understanding of European data protection legislation?
Were the criteria adjusted in light of the recent changes to the above?

Regards

Michele

Michele, Theo, Rob,
Thank you for your input, we appreciate the concerns.  As a reminder, we did vet the criteria used for the ARS through a registrar advisory panel made up of registrars who volunteered to assist and subsequently published it on the Whois.icann.org<http://whois.icann.org> site (https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars-validation).   If you are interested in joining the advisory panel, please contact Mike Zupke (off list).

Regards,

Russ

Theo – they definitely don’t. If ICANN starts calling Irish registrants they’ll end up having a nice chat with our DPA ..

Thanks Russ,

I didn't receive a whitelist request back in 2015, so I guess you guys just went for it and we Registrars just allow a lot of requests ;)  Just whitelisted the IP addresses, so good to go there.

On a more serious note, I would be very cautious to use EU registrant data  to call and to email. There might be a chance that EU Registrar - Registrant  registration agreements do not cover the pilot purposes.

Thanks,

Theo

Hi guys
All gTLDs. This is the same activity we have done 2x in 2015 for the WHOIS ARS project.  The message is targeted to registries / RSP as that is where we have had rate limit issues in the past.  But yes it would be helpful for the registrars to whitelist these as well.  For what its worth, I believe ICANN had previously requested Registrars whitelist these to support other WHOIS projects in the recent past, but I could be wrong.

Best,
Russ

Good point Don !

Still need to know if we need to whitelist those IP addresses, no pressure Russ ;)

Thanks

Will this also impact thin registries ie. .com and .net, as this would have an impact on registrars?
The wording of the email wasn’t very clear on this point.

Dear Colleagues,

Between 20 January and 17 February 2016, ICANN will be initiating a large volume of WHOIS queries of gTLD registrations as part of its WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) project utilizing the following IP addresses to perform the WHOIS queries:

IP Addresses: 192.0.32.230/31 and 192.0.47.230/31

A gTLD can expect to receive query rates of 10 queries per minute; we have accounted for RSP’s with multiple gTLD’s and will attempt to limit the queries to 10 per minute across a RSP.

We kindly request and appreciate your cooperation in allowing these queries to be processed and ask that you please whitelist the IP addresses provided above.

As a reminder, the WHOIS ARS project was established to perform periodic studies to assess the accuracy of the contact information in the WHOIS data, with a goal of identifying opportunities to improve the accuracy of this data over time.  The project was established to implement a series of improvements recommended by the WHOIS Review Team and approved by the Board (8 November 2012) on the manner in which ICANN carries out its responsibilities regarding WHOIS.

This collection of data will support the next cycle in the WHOIS ARS, Phase 2 Cycle 2, which aims to assess syntax and operability accuracy of the contact information in a gTLD WHOIS record.  Accuracy will be determined with respect to the requirements of the WHOIS record’s applicable version of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement.  ICANN will pull a sample of approximately 200,000 WHOIS records across the entire gTLD name space, and will then perform accuracy testing on a subsample of those records.

We published a report (<https://whois.icann.org/en/file/whois-ars-phase-2-cycle-1-report-syntax-and-operability-accuracy>https://whois.icann.org/en/file/whois-ars-phase-2-cycle-1-report-syntax-and-operability-accuracy) for Phase 2 Cycle 1 on 23 December 2015 and plan to publish a report of the findings of Phase 2 Cycle 2 in June 2016.  More information about the project can be found on whois.icann.org<http://whois.icann.org>: https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars.

Thank you for your cooperation,

ICANN’s GDD Operations Team
