Our objective is to reexamine and define the purpose of collecting and maintaining gTLD directory data, consider how to safeguard the data, and propose a next generation solution that will better serve the needs of the global Internet community. <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/ards-model-950x600-24jun13 -en.png> Aggregated RDS Model In our <https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-repor t-24jun13-en.pdf> Initial Report [PDF, 1.7 MB], we identify the design features and principles that we think are essential in this new system, and a proposed Model for the next generation data directory services to replace WHOIS.

Sincerely, Members of the <https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services> Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) More Information Our work stems from the Board's <https://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-08nov12-en.htm> directive to redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data, while balancing data accuracy and access issues with safeguards for protecting data. We considered the important community work done over the last decade by the GNSO, the SSAC, the WHOIS Review Team, the GAC and others. Our <https://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/initial-repor t-24jun13-en.pdf> Initial Report [PDF, 1.7 MB] reflects our consensus view of the design principles and features needed for a new system. Our proposed Model highlights how these design principles and features could be fulfilled in the ICANN domain ecosystem. What's Next? We will consider your input and present a final report containing our recommended design principles, features, and suggested Model to ICANN's CEO and Board when our work is concluded. This 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.
