"In the context of these issues, “contact information” is a subset of Domain Name Registration Data.  It is the information that enables someone using a Domain Name Registration Data Directory Service (such as WHOIS) to contact the domain name registration holder.  It includes the name, organization, and postal address of the registered name holder, technical contact, as well as administrative contact.  Domain Name Registration Data is accessible to the public via a Directory Service (also known as the WHOIS service). The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA 3.3.1) specifies the data elements that must be provided by registrars (via Port 43 and via web-based services) in response to a query, but it does not require that data elements, such as contact information, must be translated or transliterated."

Contact Information as Defined by the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (page 11) at: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/43983053/status-update-11nov13-en.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1384213897000&api=v2.

To meet basic domain control needs, it should be mandatory for Registries and Registrars to collect and Registrants to provide the following data elements when a domain name is registered; this data would not necessarily all be sent to the RDS:

a. Domain Name

d. Registrant Type: Indicates the kind of entity identified by Registrant Name:  natural person, legal person, proxy service provider, trusted  agent

e. Registrant Contact ID: A unique ID assigned to each Registrant Contact [Name+Address] during validation (refer to Section IV.b., for a more detailed definition of Contact ID and how it is created and used)

f. Registrant Postal Address: Includes the following data elements: Street, City,

State/Province, Postal Code, Country (as applicable)

g. Registrant Email Address, Registrant Telephone Number: Includes the following data elements: Number, Extension (when applicable)
