All Things WHOIS, ICANN 52 Presentation


ICANN 52: All Things WHOIS from ICANN

Slide deck from the ICANN 52 session All Things WHOIS which was presented in Singapore on Monday, 9 February 2015 (see below agenda and links).

WHOIS (pronounced as the phrase who is) is a query and response protocol that is widely used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system, but is also used for a wider range of other information. The protocol stores and delivers database content in a human-readable format. The WHOIS protocol is documented in RFC 3912. (Wikipedia)
