    WEBINAR: WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System Phase 2 Report

6 January 2016

ICANN published <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-12-23-en> 
the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) Phase 2 
<https://whois.icann.org/en/file/whois-ars-phase-2-cycle-1-report-syntax-and-operability-accuracy> 
report on 23 December 2015. This webinar, scheduled for 12 January 2016, 
will focus on the findings of the report and its implications for the 
community.

Participants will learn about the results of the Phase 2 study, which 
acts as a follow-on to the Phase 1 report 
<https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/whois-ars-phase-1-report-24august2015.pdf> 
[PDF, 1.4 MB] published in August 2015. In Phase 2, ICANN measured both 
the overall syntax (formatting) and operability accuracy of a sample of 
WHOIS records in gTLDs. The results include comparisons based on 
Registrar Accreditation Agreements (2009 RAA v. 2013 RAA), top-level 
domain types (e.g., new or "legacy" gTLDs) and across ICANN regions.

The WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System is an ICANN initiative born out of 
recommendations from the 2012 WHOIS Review Team to improve oversight of 
the WHOIS Program. ICANN committed to proactively identifying 
potentially inaccurate gTLD WHOIS contact data and forwarding 
potentially inaccurate records to gTLD registrars for investigation and 
follow up. The ARS reports provide information on the leading types of 
nonconformances (based on the applicable Registrar Accreditation 
Agreement), which ICANN's Compliance team uses for follow-up with 
registrars regarding potentially inaccurate records.
