The Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace Whois Policy Development Process Working Group (RDS-PDP-WG) was established to redefine the purpose of gTLD registration data and to consider how to safeguard this data. It was also tasked with proposing a model for gTLD registration directory services that will address accuracy, privacy, and access issues.[1] [2]

The GNSO Council approved a Charter on November 19, 2015 establishing the RDS-PDP-WG; this process was initiated on January 4, 2016.[3] The working group had a membership of 224 members and 175 observers.[4]

On October 24, 2018, the GNSO Council voted in favour of the motion to terminate the Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service (RDS) to replace WHOIS Policy Development Process.[1]
