I agree if by "WHOIS-related" methods we mean any method based on the WHOIS protocol, either directly or via protocol gateways (e.g. web-based interfaces to WHOIS records). And I support the WHOIS deprecation initiative in this sense, since it has been shown that it may be unreliable.

However, where the domain contacts information is obtained, e.g. via the web, from an IANA-accredited domain registrar and is *not* based on WHIOS, then I think it can be used.
I assume everyone agrees as long as no one raises a hand to object.

Could it be that we all agree that WHOIS-related method are so tricky that it deserves to be ditched and the only thing to requires consensus is the deadline to apply?

On my particular side, I personally consider that 1/1/2025 is a reasonable date.

Andrew,

I was not referring to any WHOIS server, but rather to the information about domain "owners" that a registrar is supposed to collect and keep.

So you believe that if a CA does the following, the domain contact email they can (sometimes) get is /unreliable/?

1) Consult the list of accredited domain registrars on the IANA website (https://www.icann.org/en/accredited-registrars), thus finding confirmation of one particular registrar's website the CA was looking for. 2) Access the website found in point 1 above and query the information available on a certain domain. 3) At this point, sometimes (rarely) obtain, among other information, also the email address of a domain contact.

Note that here I'm not talking about the WHOIS protocol nor WHOIS servers, but about the information that the domain registrar has the duty to collect and store (not necessarily publish) about the subject who registered a domain.

Regards,

Adriano

CAs were not consulting the right WHOIS server, despite a database of
correct WHOIS servers existing (at least for gTLDs).  How would the problem
be better when it comes to finding the "right" website?

The gTLD registry agreement requires gTLD operators to update the IANA
Rootzone Database when their WHOIS server changes; I don't see a
similar requirement for keeping a database of website URLs up-to-date.
