Background

ICANN has embarked on an effort to reinvent today's WHOIS system. A
significant milestone was reached on 24 June
2013<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm>with
the
publication<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-24jun13-en.htm>of
the Expert
Working Group on gTLD Directory
Services<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services>(EWG)'s
initial report for community input and comment. The initial
report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report-24jun13-en.pdf>[PDF,
1.7 MB] proposes a paradigm shift – a new system in which gTLD
registration data is collected, validated and disclosed for permissible
purposes only, with some data elements being accessible only to
authenticated requestors that are then held accountable for appropriate
use. The EWG has identified the design features and principles that they
believe are essential in this new system, and a proposed Model for the next
generation data directory services to replace WHOIS.
What's Next?

The Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services aims to publish its
final report in October for discussion at the Buenos Aires meeting and is
scheduled to meet in-person in Washington, DC in late August 2013. The
suggested model will be submitted to ICANN's CEO and Board when the work is
concluded. The output will feed into a Board-initiated GNSO policy
development process to serve as a foundation for the GNSO's creation of new
consensus policy, and contractual negotiations, as appropriate.
More Information

The EWG work stems from the Board's
directive<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-08nov12-en.htm>to
redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data, while
balancing data accuracy and access issues with safeguards for protecting
data. The EWG considered the important community work done over the last
decade by the GNSO, the SSAC, the WHOIS Review Team, the GAC and others.
The Initial Report<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-report-24jun13-en.pdf>[PDF,
1.7 MB] reflects the EWG's
*consensus view* of the design principles and features needed for a new
system. The proposed Model highlights how these design principles and
features could be fulfilled in the ICANN domain ecosystem.

Questions<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/faqs>
* prepared by the EWG related to its Initial Report.
