Hi everyone
Looking forward to our meeting tomorrow, and seeing you guys this evening.
The New Applicant Guidebook was published today
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-19sep11-en.htm
Take a look at Question Number 26 of the application form (see page A-19). My question for the review team is this:
- the criteria for WHOIS are over and above those currently required, and to some extent represent the wish list that the compliance team and others have communicated to us
- Once the new gTLDs have run through, we will have 3 concurrent WHOIS regimes in operation , ie the Thin WHOIS of .com and .net (100m domains), Thick WHOIS of the other "old" gTLDs, and the gold plated WHOIS service for new gTLDs.
My question for us is - how will these concurrent, differing systems impact on consumers? Will they understand what's required? How will the compliance effort cope with all these differing systems?
Kind regards
Emily
