→Whois protocol
[[ICANN]]'s requirements for registered domain names state that the extent of registration data collected in the moment of domain name registration can be accessed. That is, ICANN requires accredited registrars to collect and provide free public access, such as a Whois service, to information regarding the registered domain name and its nameservers and registrar, the date the domain was created and when its registration expires, and the contact information for the registered name holder, the technical contact, and the administrative contact.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/topics/whois-services/ ICANN Whois Services]</ref>

==Whois Protocol==
The origin of Whois protocol is in the ARPANET NICNAME protocol which was developed based on NAME/FINGER Protocol (rpersented in [[RFC742]] from 1977). In 1982, within [[RFC812]] the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol was presented for the first time by [[Ken Harrenstien]] and [[Vic White]] from SRI International - Network Information Center. Even if he Whois was first used on the Network Control Program, its main use was eventually determined by the standardization of TCO/IP across the ARPNET and Internet.
