  1. UWho and CRISP:Status Update for the Whois Task Force Andew Newton Mark Kosters VeriSign Labs August 20, 2002

  2. UWhat? • Universal Whois • UWho is the name of the work VeriSign has committed to in agreement with ICANN (Appendix W.) • http://uwho.verisignlabs.com/ • Formal public consultations • business, intellectual property holders (Aug/01) • civil liberties, other ngo’s (Nov/01) • international input (Nov/01) • Informal public consultations/presentations • RIPE 40 (Oct/01) • NANOG 23 (Oct/01) • RIPE 41 (Jan/02) • NANOG 24 (Feb/02) • CENTR (Feb/02) • APRICOT 2002 (Mar/02) • APNIC 13 (Mar/02) • ARIN IX (Apr/02)

  3. CRISP? • Cross Registry Information Service Protocol • IETF Applications Area Working Group • First meeting held at IETF 54, Yokohama, Japan, in July, 2002. • http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/crisp-charter.html • What is VeriSign’s role here? • Appendix W. requires Universal Whois to be an open starndard. • VeriSign is contributing UWho work to the IETF as a starting point. • The IETF process is open and anybody can participate.

  4. CRISP Goals • A better whois. • Not a science project. • “Universal” means distributed, not centralized. • Support policy decisions, not define them. • To be unencumbered by the shackles of port 43.

  5. The Requirements Process • The process to refine the requirements: • Identify the community of users • Decide on scope • List needs • Determine features • The requirements are still being derived and participation is welcome. • draft-ietf-crisp-requirements-00.txt

  6. The Benefits of Unity • While the data contained in the different registries isn’t the same, they all have common base requirements. • Data mining prevention • Need for machine consumable data • Access control • Etc… • One standard, not 3 or 4 or 5. • A common understanding.

  7. The Benefits of An Open Standard • Provides a known direction for implementers. • Allows input from end-users. • Helps with the development of common code bases. • Encourages ideas not yet imagined.

  8. The State of CRISP • CRISP is in the early stages. • Requirements draft in-progress. • draft-ietf-crisp-requirements-00.txt • Two protocol solutions submitted. • LDAP-Whois • IRIS (XML-based) • Early participation would be nice.

  9. Conclusion • Your comments, opinions, and ideas are welcome. • CRISP web page: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/crisp-charter.html • CRISP mailing list: ietf-not43@lists.verisignlabs.com • To subscribe: https://lists.verisignlabs.com/mailman/listinfo/ietf-not43
