InfoNetworks demonstrates our prototype unified access system for WHOIS at ICANN 64 in Kobe, Japan.
In February of 2019, ICANN’s Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) working group published its Phase 1 Final Report of the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process. We adapted our live system to incorporate the key recommendations made by the EPDP team in their report and used it in soliciting feedback from stakeholders across the ICANN community on our holistic (technical, legal, and policy) approach to WHOIS. For example, we incorporated the additional Registrant designation for a “protected” party based on insightful conversations with several civil society stakeholders.
