Access to domain registration data is neither timely nor uniform. In today's Interisle Insights post, Colin Strutt shares the challenges that law enforcement, first responders, and researchers face in collecting even the “non contact registration data” elements to identify where cybercriminals acquire resources for their attacks.

Whether we'll be able to join together in person in 2027 or find other ways to connect -- community building among data professionals continues to be critical. But I'm proud of #RDAP and doing our best to care for our community.
(7/7)
I'm very grateful to the 2026 Conference Planning Committee who had found locations and done a *ton* of work already trying to prepare for next year. They now have to pivot but we at least know much better how to do online conferences. (6/) #RDAP
I also know there were financial considerations, as there would be with any in person conference and yes -- I'd prefer my org to stay fiscally responsible. And that meant making a decision and not ending up in a sunk cost situation (5/) #RDAP
The daily compounding concerns led to conversations -- at least some of which I was part of as a committee chair and a worried member -- and I deeply appreciate what RDAP Leadership did with getting feedback and making thoughtful decisions (4/) #RDAP
It's been 3 months under the current administration and so many friends and colleagues (1) cannot travel safely due to multiple reasons (2) may not have jobs (3) may have jobs but not travel funding (4) are concerned for their health traveling (5) other (3/) #RDAP
As an individual -- one who deeply misses the community of that national group -- I am sad and frustrated. But those emotions aren't at my organization, who is showing care and responsibility, it's at the larger federal situation driving this. (2/) #RDAP
The Research Data Access Preservation Association Summit 2026 was supposed to be our first conference back in person. I was *so very excited* to see and hug friends who last I saw in March 2020 in New Mexico. We got the announcement late last week that we're moving it to online. (1/) #RDAP
Association entre adresse IP et AS
Dans les discussions au sujet du réseau Internet, on voit souvent passer des demandes sur l'AS associé à une adresse IP ou bien le contraire. Mais les questions simples du genre « de quel AS dépend une adresse IP ? » sont… trop simples.
I loved the keynote "When Data Is People: Ethics, Privacy, and Ownership for Research and AI Uses of Public Data" by @cfiesler
"Data is not just data.
Content is not just content.
Both are created by people, and when it comes to both research and technology, the feelings of impact on those people should be a consideration"
ICANN wants to sunset #WHOIS, recommends use of its open source #RDAP command-line client:

Of course that client isn't ready as a whois(1) replacement, since many TLDs don't run an RDAP server or provide a bootstrap URL:

I expect we'll be stuck with WHOIS for some time. But I already told you that a few years ago:

Curious about the future of domain registration data? Dive into the world of the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) and ICANN's goal to sunset Whois.
RDAP offers enhanced security, better data handling, and improved privacy compliance, especially with regulations like GDPR. Learn more about how RDAP is transforming the way we access domain information and why it's a game-changer for online anti-abuse work.
You probably have a lot of questions - we've got you covered!

RDAP replaces WHOIS (for generic TLDs) from today!
@ook @bortzmeyer Par #RDAP si j’ai bien compris le tag.
Dernier jour pour le protocole #whois dans les TLD ICANN. Il cesse aujourd'hui d'être obligatoire.
