access to the personal information of
usTLD registrants. NTIA’s policy goal
regarding access to domain registration
data is to ensure that the usTLD protects
the privacy of its usTLD registrants
while also enabling third parties to
access usTLD domain registration data
for legitimate purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
usTLD serves as an online home for
American business, individuals, and
localities for the benefit of the nation’s
internet community. NTIA administers
the contract governing the operation of
the usTLD, the most recent of which
was awarded in 2019 to Registry
Services, LLC (the Contractor).
NTIA requires the Contractor to
maintain a publicly accessible
registration database of usTLD domain
name registrations.1 The Contractor
currently provides a WHOIS directory
service 2 that allows users to retrieve
usTLD domain name registration data
directly and without any form of
authentication from its comprehensive
central usTLD registrant database of real
usTLD registrant data.3 This data
1 .us Contract, C.4.2(iv), page 11, available at:
https://ntia.gov/files/ntia/publications/us_contract_
june_28_2019.pdf.
2 A WHOIS directory is a database of all the
registered domains in a particular zone. It contains
information about the domain name registrant
including the registrant contact information such as
address, email, phone number, etc.
3 Under this proposal privacy and proxy services
would remain prohibited under the usTLD as
currently required by the .us contract.
PO 00000
Frm 00011

includes important contact information:
individual names, physical addresses,
telephone numbers, and email addresses
of all usTLD registrants.
Historically, NTIA has authorized
public access to the usTLD registration
data (WHOIS service) permitting
internet users to retrieve the usTLD
registrant data for legitimate purposes
(e.g., law enforcement investigations,
consumer protection, cybersecurity
research, intellectual property rights
protection and enforcement). In
addition, the usTLD registrant data is
accessible on an anonymous basis. The
data (especially the personal
information) may be accessed and used
for abusive purposes (e.g., to spam,
phish, harass, dox, or otherwise cause
the registrant harm).4
In response to concerns about the
potential for abuse of usTLD registrant
data, NTIA is considering a proposal
from its Contractor to create an
Accountable WHOIS Gateway System
(the System) to provide public access to
usTLD registrant information. This
proposal was created based upon
recommendations developed by the
usTLD community. Under the
Contractor’s proposal, the System would
be designed to reduce the potential for
abuse by eliminating anonymous and
unaccountable access to usTLD
registrant data. The System would
require those seeking access to the
usTLD registration data to provide their
name, an email address, and to accept
the Terms of Service (TOS). The TOS
would require the user to agree not to
misuse the data. Users would also be
required to identify, from a pre-selected
list, a legitimate, non-marketing purpose
for accessing the information. This list
would be developed according to
industry best practice in consultation
with the usTLD community and
approved by NTIA. Unredacted WHOIS
data would then automatically be
returned in near-real-time to the user via
email. Queries would be rejected only if
the user did not provide a name and
email address or failed to select (or
provide) a legitimate purpose and
accept the TOS.
The System would also permit users
to identify a legitimate purpose outside
of the pre-selected list. The Contractor
using usTLD community developed and
NTIA approved standards would
manually review these requests and
deliver, via email, unredacted data
within two (2) business days for any
non-abusive purpose unrelated to
4 See e.g., Andrew Alleman, Reminder: there’s no
Whois privacy for .us domain names—Domain
Name Wire | Domain Name Newsat. The Contractor
has also received a number of complaints outlining
these issues.
