What is WHOIS?

2  Internet Protocol you can use to search registry and registrar databases and discover who registered a domain name or IP address  Includes contact information for registrant WHOIS is not an acronym

3 A typical WHOIS entry Registrant name Street address Telephone number Creation date Expiration date

4  Helps network administrators find and fix system problems and maintain Internet stability  Manages registration status of domain names  Assists in fighting abusive use of Internet Why is WHOIS important?

5 Accuracy of WHOIS data is important WHOIS records are created when a domain name is registered Information changes over time and should be updated so that registrants can be easily contacted Inaccurate records can lead to the domain name’s cancellation

6  Send complaint to ICANN about inaccurate or missing WHOIS data  mpliance/complaints/whois/inaccuracy -form mpliance/complaints/whois/inaccuracy -form Who do I tell if WHOIS information is wrong or missing?

7 ICANN requires all accredited registrars and registries to provide contact information for registrants and managers via WHOIS. Some registrars offer privacy or proxy services that show the contact information of the service instead of the registrant’s. These are not truly anonymous. A registrar may be legally compelled to release information in some cases or will voluntarily release information in accordance with its policies. What if I don’t want to share my personal information in the WHOIS database?

8 ICANN does not require registries or registrants to break laws in order to address conflicts between the collection of WHOIS data by a registry or registrar and sovereign privacy laws and regulations. Registries or registrars that can demonstrate national laws prohibiting the collection or publication of personal data can seek a waiver from this requirement. What if my country’s privacy laws prohibit collection of this data?

9 An Expert Working Group has proposed a complete overhaul to how registrant information is provided to users. Proposed Next Generation gTLD Directory Services Model would streamline the way data is retrieved and validated. It would also help safeguard data against illegitimate uses. WHOIS may change dramatically in future

10  WHOIS Informational website will launch in next few months  Make your voice heard at meetings and public comment periods Coming milestones
