The end of WHOIS as we know it?

Andrew Allemann from DomainNameWire.com has posted about ICANN's mission to reinvent the current WHOIS system.

What the provocative WHOIS report means for domain investors
Tuesday, June 25th, 2013

Sweeping changes to registrant data could have major impact on domain name investors.

ICANN’s working group on gTLD Directory Services released its initial report overnight. If I were to use one word to describe the report, it would be “provocative”.

I just finished reading the 49 page report that describes a way to upend WHOIS as we know it and replace it with an Aggregated Registration Data Service (ARDS).

Calling it something completely different than the current technical name of WHOIS was not accident.

You can also find the report on the ICANN website.

Cheers,
