INTRODUCTION

WHOIS Review

The WHOIS review team has been constituted under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC), which was signed by the United States Department of Commerce and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on 30 September 2009.

...

Questions
3.  HWhat insight can country code TLDs (ccTLDs) offer on their response to domestic laws and how they have or have not modified their ccTLD WHOIS policies?

...


One response to these concerns has been the use of privacy and proxy services, which limit publicly accessible information about domain name registrants. A recent ICANN study found that at least 18% of domain names registered under the top five gTLDs are likely to have been registered using a privacy or proxy service\[[1]\|#_ftn1\].

Questions
H4.  How can ICANN balance the privacy concerns of some registrants with its commitment to having accurate and complete WHOIS data publicly accessible without restriction?
5.  How should ICANN address concerns about the use of privacy/proxy services and their impact on the accuracy and availability of the WHOIS data?

...

The review team is interested to examine any gaps between ICANN’s commitments, stakeholder expectations and ICANN’s actual implementation and enforcement activities. This includes whether ICANN has the power and/or resources to enforce its commitments.

Wiki MarkupA key example relates to WHOIS accuracy. WHOIS accuracy is mentioned in the AoC, and is also a requirement in policy and contractual documents. However, a recent ICANN report found that, by the strictest interpretation, only 22.8% of WHOIS records could be considered "fully accurate\[[2]\|#_ftn2\]". The report further categorized the accuracy according to the ability to contact the registrants. On this analysis, 22.8 % was considered "no failure", 20.9% "substantial failure" and 7.8 % "full failure".

Some actors in the WHOIS space appear to have little or no direct contractual relationship with ICANN (e.g. resellers and privacy and proxy service providers). The review team is interested to examine whether this raises any compliance issues for ICANN.

...

Questions
14.  Are there any other relevant issues that the review team should be aware of? Please provide details.
