In short, there have been expressions of concern over the recent advisory, and my understanding from discussions on the RrSG list is that many have concerns over transliteration and translation of WHOIS data.

Kind regards

In regards this statement “Registries and Registrars are encouraged to only use  US-ASCII encoding and character repertoire for WHOIS port 43 output.”. The paragraph from ICANN advisory notes on Sep 12 states:

 

As described in RFC 3912, the WHOIS protocol (port-43) has not been internationalized. While a substitute protocol is being developed in the IETF, Registries and Registrars are encouraged to only use US-ASCII encoding and character repertoire for WHOIS (port-43) output. If the RegistryOperator/Registrar uses characters outside of the US-ASCII repertoire, the output MUST be encoded in UTF-8 to maximize the chances of interoperability.

Although iCANN encourages use of US-ASCII it does not exclude the use of other characters sets as long as they are encoded in UTF-8.

Thanks, Emily.

 

I'll have a meeting within 20 min from now to further discuss this topic (at INTA).

 

Best,
