  • SSAC Staff The CZDS 3.0 project has been placed on hold to prioritize work on the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS), formerly referred to as the Whois Disclosure System (WDS), as directed by the ICANN Board resolutions from the special meeting of the ICANN board held on 27-February-2023. Zone file metrics continue to be published on CZDS without interruption. In the 2023 Global Amendment to the Base Registry Agreement ICANN and the Registries improved the clarity of the reporting requirements for WHOIS queries in attempt to address SSAC’s advice to reduce the “inaccuracy” of WHOIS query reporting and future RDAP reporting. ICANN continues to be available to support SSAC's leadership at the TechOps Group related to Web-based WHOIS query statistics.

  • SSAC Staff The CZDS 3.0 project has been placed on hold to prioritize work on the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS), formerly referred to as the Whois Disclosure System (WDS), as directed by the ICANN board resolutions from the special meeting of the ICANN board held on 27-February-2023. Work is currently paused until the CZDS 3.0 project is prioritized again in the future and, from a compliance perspective, will potentially reduce the need for filing complaints as one of the main functionalities will include support for automatic compliance escalation of unattended access requests in pending status and other updates. In the meantime, ICANN Contractual Compliance notes the total number of complaints received regarding zone file access has remained low over the course of the past year at only 17% of the total number of complaints received concerning all registry-related obligations.
