RESTful Web Service for Internet Name and Address Directory Services (successor to Whois)
by Denise Michel Oct. 5, 2011

Oct. 5, 2011

Dear Team Members, Dave Piscitello, Andy Newton, Steve Sheng, and Benedetto Fiorelli published an article on RESTful at USENIX.ORG that we thought might interest you. A RESTful Web Service for Internet Name and Address Directory Services http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/2011-10/openpdfs/Newton.pdf Dave's executive summary is posted at: A RESTful Web Service for Domain Name and IP Directory Services http://securityskeptic.typepad.com/the-security-skeptic/2011/10/a-restful-w… And here's some additional background, courtesy of Dave. Inspired by the Whois-RWS service now in production at the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), staff at ICANN began experimenting with Representational State Transfer-based (REST) Web services for domain name registration data (a.k.a., "Whois data"), as did engineers at the RIPE Network Coordination Centre. ICANN, ARIN, and RIPE staff recently published an article in USENIX ;login to share their findings from this experimentation. The article describes three implementations in sufficient detail to illustrate the benefits and corroborate their findings. Specifically, through these implementations, ICANN, ARIN, and RIPE staff demonstrate that REST-based directory services are able to "support internationalized registration data (and, generally, structured and typed data), provide unambiguous signaling, and improve error reporting . We are able to leverage existing client and server infrastructures and provide security services, including transport confidentiality and integrity checking, authentication, and data filtering, in an extensible manner, again with the prospect of being able to leverage implementations and Web infrastructure that makes use of security services today.

Yes- that is the registrar and you found a thin whois record. If you go to the registrar site you will find the Coca Cola corporate address as the registrant.

Seth From: rt4-whois-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:rt4-whois-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of lynn(a)goodsecurityconsulting.com Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 9:51 AM To: rt4-whois(a)icann.org Subject: [Rt4-whois] Quick note regarding status of consumer trust survey Dear All, Sending this brief note to advise current status of the Consumer Trust survey. I had a conference call with the User Insight team last Tuesday and we reviewed all the suggestions and feedback. As a result we made several improvements to the questionnaire. Overall, I deferred to the expertise of User Insight in helping us to achieve our objectives. Some of the suggestions we made are better suited to in person interviews rather than online surveys. Another consideration was the amount of time required of the survey participants. One point of their advice was to proceed with http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com as the domain to be used for the lookup exercise. User Insight planned to launch a pilot test to make sure there were no unexpected problems as a final validation of the questionnaire. I am expecting an updated status from them again tomorrow and will keep you all advised. Kind regards, Lynn
