Please help to shape the RDS by sharing your insights on these topics…

ccTLD WHOIS Data Verification/Validation Questionnaire

If you are a ccTLD operator, the EWG invites you to respond to this survey about existing WHOIS data verification and validation practices applied to ccTLD domain names. Responses will help the EWG identify practices that might be commercially reasonable and feasible for gTLD domain names under the proposed RDS. Responses are requested by 21 February 2014.

WHOIS Privacy and Proxy Service Provider Questionnaire

If you are a Privacy and Proxy (P/P) Provider, the EWG invites you to respond to this survey about current practices. Responses will be used by the EWG to inform its deliberations as it develops recommendations for best practices within the proposed RDS, and also to inform on-going PPSAI PDP efforts. Responses are requested by 28 February 2014.

RFI on Contact Data Validation and Verification Systems

If your organization provides services or software that might be capable of validating / verifying domain name registration contact data (such as WHOIS) you are invited to respond to this RFI. This RFI is purely informational, intended to inform the development of policies and procedures that may follow two initiatives: the EWG’s recommendations for a next-generation RDS, and ICANN’s need for postal address cross-field validation services as described by the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). Responses are requested by 7 March 2014.
