Overview
There are increasing community concerns that the current WHOIS protocol does not meet the community’s current needs. In this workshop, we will present our preliminary analysis of the technical shortcomings of the WHOIS protocol, as well as three potential options to address these technical deficiencies. While there may also be other options to consider, staff specifically examined the following: 1) extending the existing WHOIS protocol; 2) migrating from WHOIS to the IRIS protocol; and 3) migrating from WHOIS to a HTTP-based Representational State Transfer protocol based service (“RESTful Whois Service”, or RWS).
Who Should Attend? | Any interested community members.
