Comments
BC Members,
Per the Member’s Call last Friday, please
find below brief comments regarding the renewal of the .COM contract:
The BC supports
VeriSign's continued operation of the .COM Registry.
However, we strongly
urge ICANN to take this opportunity to require the maintenance of Thick Whois
by VeriSign for the .COM Registry.
We believe that
requiring all Registries to comply with Thick Whois is an important first step
in improving Whois.
The BC has previously
stated the importance of timely, unrestricted, and public access to complete
and accurate Whois information. While the BC recognizes that Thick Whois does
not improve accuracy, it does address the requirements for timely, unrestricted
and public access of Whois information.
The BC expects that
other ongoing ICANN projects will improve Whois accuracy and responses by
privacy/proxy services to relay / reveal requests. In particular, we
expect improvements to result from:
-
current negotiations on the Registrar Accreditation
Agreement (RAA);
-
implementation of SAC 051 recommendations (link);
and
-
policy development indicated by results of five pending
Whois studies (link).
