Whois Export and Exchange Format

Abstract

  This memo presents a technique for using XML (Extensible Mark-up
  Language) as a source format exchanging WHOIS data related to Domain
  Registration Information, for the purpose of exporting Registry, 
  Registrar, or Registrant  data into a portable and verifiable
  format.

  ietf-whois@imc.org, which is hosted by the Alice's Registry, Inc. To
  subscribe, send an email to ietf-whois-request@imc.org,  with the

The cited memo was the basis for the present whois format for .com and .net gTLDs in 2001. It is presently outdated, as the memo refers to RRP statuses. In 2006, Verisign passed to EPP for the management of its gTLDs. This memo is cited in the spamwiki for historical reference and to share a better understanding of why the whois for these gTLDs is in the current format.
