ICANN is a non-profit organization that is responsible for coordinating the global internet’s-
This organization manages the distribution and maintenance of domain names and ensures the stable and secure operation of the Internet.
ICANN introduced RDRS (Registration Data Request Service), which streamlines access requests to nonpublic registration data for gTLDs (Generic top-level domains) with a consistent and standardized format.
ICANN launched this new service to assist law enforcement in discovering the private information and data of domain owners.
ICANN-accredited registrars must censor personal data from public records, creating challenges in accessing needed information. RDRS simplifies and standardizes the process for requesting such data.
RDRS serves ICANN registrars and stakeholders with legitimate interests, including:-
RDRS manages nonpublic gTLD registration data requests, connecting requestors with participating ICANN-accredited registrars.
The platform streamlines and standardizes the process for efficient request submission and handling.
RDRS doesn’t guarantee data access but offers a unified platform for nonpublic gTLD registration requests.
As the communication occurs outside the system. The service streamlines the process, automatically identifying the correct registrar and avoiding multiple forms.
It centralizes access to pending and past requests, which allows the following things:-
Besides this, the registrars benefit from automated alerts and standardized forms for efficient request evaluation.
ICANN Board directs RDRS for usage data to inform Standardized Access/Disclosure policy. However, the increased usage enhances the data accuracy for informed decisions.
