The Registration Data Request Service (RDRS), launched by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will address the challenges faced in accessing nonpublic registration data associated with generic top-level domains (gTLDs). By centralizing the process through a single platform, the RDRS streamlines the submission and receipt of requests.
The RDRS is particularly relevant due to privacy laws that now require ICANN-accredited registrars to remove personal data from public records that were previously available in “WHOIS” databases.
