TLD Sponsorship Agreement: Attachment 15 (.aero) Posted: 17 December 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. However, the following provides the target architecture and initial functionality. In addition, Sponsor agrees to implement changes to this Attachment specified by ICANN to conform to 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 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 of domain names or nameservers stored in the registry. The standard Whois service will provide a central location for all authoritative .aero TLD data. The registry provides a front-end web interface to allow convenient user access to the Whois service.
The RFC954-conformant Whois service will be engineered to handle moderate transaction load and be integral to the standard suite of Registry Services. The Whois service will return a single response per domain name or nameserver query. The RFC954-conformant Whois service will conform to the requirements of Attachments 6 and 7.
The RFC954-conformant service provided by the registry will have the following features:
- Standard protocol accessible over port 43.
- Batch-style or near real time updates.
- Additional fields capability.
- Whois Service Data Elements
Whois Service Data Elements
The RFC954-conformant 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) of the name registered, if applicable, i.e. nameserver has a .aero name.;
- The corresponding names of those nameservers;
- The identity of the sponsoring registrar;
- The ENS_AuthId identifying the authorization of the registration, (this enables tracking of registrations performed using the same ENS_AuthId);
- 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;
- The name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and (where available) fax number of the administrative contact for the name registered; and
- The Maintainer URL (email or website). The maintainer is a person that has been designated by the Registrar for the registration of the domain (for example a reseller, could also depend on the registrant).
Minimum Data Update Frequency
The Registry Operator shall make reasonable efforts to update the data continuously as requests are processed, in a matter of seconds or minutes. The typical update cycle will be 30 seconds but may be different depending on performance considerations. The Registry Operator 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.
Additional Fields Capability
If necessary, .aero may introduce after a 6 to 12 month period of operational stability some additional fields to the list of Whois fields. Those fields will be preceded and identified by appropriate tags.
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 certain data to be associated with 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 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
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.

Sample Whois Output
This section provides sample output from the Whois server for each type of Registry Object: Domain, Contact, Nameserver, and Registrar. The output is structured as key/value pairs, which simplifies machine-readability. In the Input section, the quoted string represents the string actually passed to the server in the request packet.
