TLD Sponsorship Agreement: Attachment 15 (.museum) Posted: 15 October 2001 Public Whois Specification The Sponsor will provide RFC954-conformant Whois service. This Attachment is subject to change by agreement of the Sponsor and ICANN during the design process as well as during the IETF standards process. The following provides the target architecture and initial functionality. In addition, Registry Operator agrees to implement changes to this Appendix specified by ICANN to conform to the IETF provreg working group's protocol specification no later than 135 days after the IETF specification is adopted as a Proposed Standard [RFC 2026, section 4.1.1]. RFC954-Conformant Whois The standard registry-level Whois service is intended as a lookup service for registries, registrars, registrants, as well as for other individuals and businesses that wish to query details about domain names or nameservers stored in the registry. The standard Whois service will provide a central location for all authoritative .museum TLD data. It will be in addition to Whois services provided by registrars. The RFC954-conformant Whois service will be engineered to handle moderate transaction load and be integral to the standard suite of Registry Services. The RFC954-conformant Whois service will conform to the requirements of Attachments 6 and 7. The registry-level Whois service will provide Whois data in response to queries over port 43, in conformity to the RFC 954 standard. The Registry Operator, or other vendor arranged by the Sponsor, will also provide a port 80 (web) interface to allow convenient user access to the Whois service. Whois Service Data Elements The registry-level Whois service will include the following data elements: The name of the domain name registered; The IP addresses of the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver(s) for the name registered; The corresponding names of those nameservers; The identity of the of the sponsoring registrar; The ENS identity of the registrant; The original creation date and term of the registration; The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the domain name registrant; The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the technical contact for the name registered; and The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the administrative contact for the name registered. Minimum Data Update Frequency The Sponsor shall make reasonable efforts to have the data updated continuously as requests are processed, in a matter of seconds or minutes. The Sponsor shall ensure that records in the Whois server are updated no later than 24 hours after the completion of the registration or modification transaction with the registrar. Extensible Field Capability MuseDoma will provide a directory service at directory.museum as described in Attachment 13. Means for accessing selected records in the database underlying that service may be provided as an extension of the Whois facility. Privacy Capability The Sponsor may introduce the optional ability to associate privacy labels to a record in the Registry Database. These fields would appear in an "additional information" section of the Whois data. The maximum number of custom fields allowed per record is yet to be determined. The privacy label capability allows registrants to associate with certain data an indication of any special disclosure or handling restrictions. Query Control/Object Type Control The following keywords restrict a search to specific object type: Domain: Search only by domain objects. The input string is searched in the Name field. Contact: Search only contact objects. The input string is searched in the ID field. Nameserver: Search only by nameserver objects. The input string is searched in the nameserver name field or the IP address field. Registrar: Search only registrar objects. The input string is searched in the Name field. By default, if no object type control is specified, then the Name field of the Domain object is searched. Whois Output Fields The Whois service will provide responses to queries as described below. In the event that a query produces no match, the response of the Whois server will begin with the words "No matching data found." Domain Record: A Whois query that results in domain information will return the following fields from the Domain object and the associated data from host and contact objects. This set of data is also referred to as the Domain Record. Domain ID Domain Name Domain Status Sponsoring Registrar ENS Identity Registrant, Administrative, Technical and Billing Contact Information including Contact ID Contact Name Contact Organization Contact Address, City, State/Province, Country Contact Postal Code Contact Phone, Fax, E-mail Name Servers associated with this domain Created Date Last Updated Date Last Transferred Date Additional fields (Sponsor specified) Domain Registration Date Domain Expiration Date Domain Last Updated Date Nameserver Record: Nameserver ID Nameserver name Currently Associated (true/false) Nameserver status IP addresses associated Created Date Sponsoring Registrar Last Updated Date Last Transferred Date Additional fields (Sponsor specified) Contact Record: A Whois query that results in contact information will return the following.
