Whois verification tool
by Alan Greenberg June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

Please see item 2b of the Approved resolutions of the 25 June meeting of the New gTLD Program Committee (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-25jun13…) and the reference to Annex I (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-annex-i…) Item 1 of Annex 1 reads: ICANN is concluding its development of a WHOIS tool that gives it the ability to check false, incomplete or inaccurate WHOIS data as the Board previously directed staff in Board Resolutions 2012.11.08.01 - 2012.11.08.02 to begin to "proactively identify potentially inaccurate gTLD data registration in gTLD registry and registrar services, explore using automated tools, and forward potentially inaccurate records to gTLD registrars for action; and 2) publicly report on the resulting actions to encourage improved accuracy." I find it disturbing that we were not told about the development of this tool, and I ask staff for further details. Alan

Re: [Work Stream 3 ATRT 2] Suggestions for addition information requests
by Alan Greenberg June 18, 2013

June 18, 2013

Michael, you are right, the idea is simple. The problems are over whether translation or transliteration is what should be requested (and there are situations where one is more appropriate than the other, but it is sometimes depends on the particular string. Also, since this is a decision that will affect Registry/Registrar contracts, it must be addressed through a formal PDP. Also, who it is that should do the translation/transliteration is not obvious. The Issue Report is at http://gnso.icann.org/en/node/37469 and slide 11 of beijing46.icann.org/meetings/beijing2013/presentation-gnso-council-10apr13-… has an interesting example.
