Whois Inaccuracy Report System Gets Upgrade

ICANN have upgraded the system used for reporting inaccuracies in WHOIS.

According to the announcement:

The Whois Data Problem Report System (WDPRS) has a number of advantages over the previous system, which was first introduced in 2002. Among them are:

    * More detailed information is captured from complainants to assist registrars in investigating Whois inaccuracies
    * Duplicate reports regarding the same domain name are not accepted by the system
    * Reports concerning domains already on hold are removed
    * Greater capacity has been introduced to allow for bulk submissions of reports
    * Processes have been put in place to assess registrar compliance with RAA Whois inaccuracy investigation requirements
