[Rt4-whois] New applicant guidebook - WHOIS requirements for us to consider

[Mikhail Yakushev]

Dear Emily, colleagues,
- I would also add the fourth regime to Emily's list: the variety of cctld's with their own WHOIS procedures....
- I think we all need to reach a kind of consensus - which of three (or four) regimes should be treated as 'optimal' (recommended), and under which conditions (in which cirmumstances) the deviations from the optimal/recommended regime can be allowed/admitted. Let's discuss it tomorrow.
- I am sorry to apologize for not being able to attend today's dinner. I am already in MdR, but due to a terrible jet lag I need to have some rest after almost 14 hours in airspace without sleeping.
Rgds,
Michael

Hi everyone

Looking forward to our meeting tomorrow, and seeing you guys this evening.

The New Applicant Guidebook was published today http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-19sep11-en.htm

Take a look at Question Number 26 of the application form (see page A-19).  My question for the review team is this:

- the criteria for WHOIS are over and above those currently required, and to some extent represent the wish list that the compliance team and others have communicated to us
- Once the new gTLDs have run through, we will have 3 concurrent WHOIS regimes in operation , ie the Thin WHOIS of .com and .net (100m domains), Thick WHOIS of the other "old" gTLDs, and the gold plated WHOIS service for new gTLDs.

My question for us is - how will these concurrent, differing systems impact on consumers?  Will they understand what's required?  How will the compliance effort cope with all these differing systems?

Kind regards

Emily
