Accuracy Reporting System Phase 2 Report</h2>
<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px 0px;">6 January 2016</p>
<p>ICANN <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-12-23-en">published</a>
the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://whois.icann.org/en/file/whois-ars-phase-2-cycle-1-report-syntax-and-operability-accuracy">Phase
2</a> report on 23 December 2015. This webinar, scheduled
for 12 January 2016, will focus on the findings of the
report and its implications for the community.</p>
<p>Participants will learn about the results of the Phase 2
study, which acts as a follow-on to the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/whois-ars-phase-1-report-24august2015.pdf">Phase
1 report</a> [PDF, 1.4 MB] published in August 2015. In
Phase 2, ICANN measured both the overall syntax (formatting)
and operability accuracy of a sample of WHOIS records in
gTLDs. The results include comparisons based on Registrar
Accreditation Agreements (2009 RAA v. 2013 RAA), top-level
domain types (e.g., new or "legacy" gTLDs) and across ICANN
regions.</p>
<p>The WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System is an ICANN initiative
born out of recommendations from the 2012 WHOIS Review Team
to improve oversight of the WHOIS Program. ICANN committed
to proactively identifying potentially inaccurate gTLD WHOIS
contact data and forwarding potentially inaccurate records
to gTLD registrars for investigation and follow up. The ARS
reports provide information on the leading types of
nonconformances (based on the applicable Registrar
Accreditation Agreement), which ICANN's Compliance team uses
for follow-up with registrars regarding potentially
inaccurate records.</p>
