High Interest Session: RDS-WHOIS2 Review

Join a discussion with the Registration Directory Service Review team (RDS-WHOIS2). The Registration Directory Service Review, formerly known as “WHOIS” (RDS-WHOIS2) is mandated by the ICANN Bylaws. The scope of its work includes assessing how the recommendations of the first WHOIS Review were carried out, as well as assessing the effectiveness of the gTLD Registry Directory Service and whether its implementation meets the legitimate needs of law enforcement, promoting consumer trust and safeguarding registrant data. The RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team will update the community on its findings to date and seek input on its findings as well as address any questions pertaining to its scope and work plan. This is your opportunity to provide input to the RDS-WHOIS2 Review Team prior to the finalization of their Draft Report.
