This system comprises data retrieval > protocols WHOIS and a web-based version of WHOIS and databases controlled > by registries and registrars that contain domain registration information. > > ICANN has notified contracted parties that they are responsible for modifying > their systems within six months. ICANN consulted these parties when defining > the new requirements and implementation plans. > Background > The Registration Data Access Protocol was developed by the Internet > Engineering Task Force <https://ietf.org/> to eventually replace the WHOIS > protocol. This new protocol is superior to WHOIS in terms of data access > security, support for international characters, extensibility, and in the > standardization of query, response and error messages. The RDAP gTLD Profile > maps ICANN policy and contractual requirements onto technical requirements in > order to standardize directory services across gTLD contracted parties. > > The RDDS Consistent Labeling and Display Policy is a Consensus Policy > developed and adopted in accordance with ICANN Bylaws. The policy is the > result of recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council after the completion of > the Thick WHOIS Policy Development Process. The ICANN board adopted these > recommendations on 7 February 2014. > > The goal of the RDDS Consistent Labeling and Display Policy is to align the > way registries and registrars label and display registration data outputs. The > policy uses the output specifications found in the 2013 Registrar > Accreditation Agreement as the standard, thus only registries need to update > their systems. Changes might include renaming or re-ordering fields and > displaying additional data, such as registrar abuse contact information. > > For more information on these topics, visit: > * Registration Data Access Protocol gTLD Profile > <https://www.icann.org/rdap-gtld-profile> > * Registry RDDS Consistent Labeling and Display Policy > <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rdds-labeling-policy-2016-07-26-en> > * Thick WHOIS Policy Implementation > <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/thick-whois-2016-06-27-en> > * Policy Implementation at ICANN <https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation> > About ICANN > ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global > Internet.
