ICANN-approved registrars have to hide personal information in public records. This makes it difficult to access the information we need. RDRS makes it easier to request this data.
RDRS serves ICANN registrars and stakeholders with legitimate interests, including: –
Law enforcement
Intellectual property professionals
Consumer advocates
Cybersecurity experts
Government officials
RDRS connects people who want nonpublic gTLD registration data with ICANN-accredited registrars. It makes the request submission and handling process easier and more efficient.
RDRS doesn’t ensure data access, but it provides a single platform for submitting registration requests for nonpublic gTLDs.
The service makes communication easier by automatically identifying the correct registrar and avoiding the need for multiple forms.
It centralizes access to pending and past requests, which allows the following things: –
Create new requests
Develop request templates
Cancel requests
Registrars benefit from automated alerts and standardized forms for efficiently evaluating requests. The ICANN Board directs the Registration Data Access and Disclosure System (RDRS) to use data to inform the Standardized Access/Disclosure policy. Increased usage improves data accuracy for making informed decisions.
