CRISP is dead. RDAP is real. If people need to script, then RDAP is workable JSON and for once, has converged on sensible stuff in both names and numbers. the whois "problem" is a formalism owned by ICANN, but as DRC pointed out the WHOIS solution is dispersed. RPSL lies to one side btw. I wish it was a defined RDAP type. It may be work-in-progress but thats not clear. On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 11:38 AM, David Conrad <drc () virtualized org> wrote:
Hi,Scripting languages have modules that can parse many registrar whois formats. However, most are incomplete due to the plurality of output formats as stated above. I, and i suspect many others, wouls *love* toseea more concrete key value format drafted and enforced by ICANN.ICANN can only 'enforce' stuff on the contracted parties, namely the gTLDs. And, in fact, they do so in contractual agreements (if you want the gory details, see Specification 4 of http://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/agreements/agreement-approved-09jan14-en.htm for registries and https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-2013-09-17-en#whois for registrars). ICANN can't 'enforce' anything on the ccTLDs or RIRs. Regards, -drc
