Avri and Chuck, hello,
SSAC has published
SAC 033 Domain Name Registration Records and Directory Services http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac033.pdf
This is a companion document to
SAC 027 Comment to GNSO regarding WHOIS studies http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac027.pdf
This paper asserts that the ICANN community would be served well if the accuracy and availability of domain registration information were improved.
It attempts to further clarify the distinction between the type of services currently offered using WHOIS and those services typically available via directory services frameworks used in enterprises and large organizations today. The paper is informational and makes no specific recommendations. SSAC suggests that this informational paper could serve as the basis for discussions related to future WHOIS features and services.
Please contact me or Steve Crocker if you have any questions.
Regards,
Dave
