[registrars] transfer TF compliance

[Christopher Ambler]

I should be announcing a cooperative effort that eNom and GoDaddy have been
working on over the past month next week. In short, it is an agreement to
identify and whitelist each other's IP addresses for the purpose of
gathering WHOIS information for transfers, and a common data format for the
exchange of that information. We'd originally specified a simple XML format,
but have recently migrated to using IRIS-dreg (from the CRISP working group
effort).

In short, it's a streamlined registrar-to-registrar process that we feel
will significantly help the process.

As I said, I should be making a formal announcement early next week, with a
URL for a site that has complete information.

In section (e) of Final Report and Recommendations of the GNSO Council's
Transfers Task Force  Exhibit A: Reference Application at
http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-exha-12feb03.htm the
gaining registrar is required to parse the loosing registrars whois.

I've been testing some whois data mining software, one by gandi and one
by directi. It would seem that neither of these methods provides a
reliable means to acquire the registrant or administrative contact for
a subset all registrars.

If anyone has another experence with a diferent tool set that they would
like to share, please drop me a refrence.

thanks,
