17-2014: Draft Implementation Plan for WHOIS Online Accuracy and Reporting System
by Gabriella Schittek March 17, 2014

March 17, 2014

Dear Coucillors, Please, can I have your input by 19 March 2014, in case you do not agree with the Triage committee's decision on how to hanlde request 17-2014: Draft Implementation Plan for WHOIS Online Accuracy and Reporting System. Thanks, Gabi == Topic: Draft Implementation Plan for WHOIS Online Accuracy and Reporting System Originator: ICANN Summary of request: The new WHOIS Online Accuracy Reporting System is a key project linked to ICANN's strategic initiative to improve the overall effectiveness and accuracy of the WHOIS system. In response to the recommendations of the WHOIS Review Team, the system is designed to produce statistical reports on WHOIS accuracy rates. These reports will be made available on the WHOIS website <http://whois.icann.org/> on a periodic basis, providing visibility and transparency into whether accuracy levels are improving over time. With the help of NORC at the University of Chicago, the pioneer of one of the earliest studies into WHOIS accuracy, ICANN is publishing NORC's suggested model for implementing this statistical analysis. Taking into account recent WHOIS developments, such as the adoption of the new 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement <http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun1 3-en.htm> (2013 RAA), the model examines a WHOIS record for each of the validation perspectives highlighted in SSAC-58 <http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-058-en.pdf> [PDF, 490 KB], namely, syntactic, operational, and identity validation, and assigns a scoring methodology. These in turn will translate into a finding of accuracy labels, based on range of possibilities, such as: No Failure, Minimal Failure, Limited Failure, Substantial Failure, and Full Failure, which will be reported on a regular basis, and tracked over time. The model also describes a sampling methodology to ensure that a statistically significant number of records are examined to provide adequate geographic scope, and that enable a comparison of accuracy levels associated with new gTLDs and legacy gTLDs, as well as other comparisons. The Draft Implementation Plan published today describes ICANN's proposed design based on the NORC model for determining how to identify a WHOIS record as "inaccurate" for use in the WHOIS Online Accuracy Reporting System. It also includes additional information on the proposed next steps for developing other aspects of the WHOIS Online Accuracy Reporting System. http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/whois-accuracy-reporting-11mar1 4-en.htm Date received: 12 March 2014 Last day for Comments/input/response, if any: 1 April 2014 Recommended action, if any: Send to email list for information (done) Expertise needed, if any: Various Date of submission to Council: 17 March 2014 Last date of Council decision: 19 March 2014 Impact on ccNSO/ccTLDs: Low
