             draft-bambenek-porter-dnsop-whois-over-dns-01.txt

Abstract

   Domain contact information over DNS provides a vehicle for
   exchanging contact information in a programmatic and reliable
   manner. DNS has a ubiquitous presence within the internet
   infrastructure and will act as a reliable publication method for
   contact information exchange. This RFC provides an agreed upon
   structure, voluntarily, to publish points of contact for domains.

   This document outlines the methodology for utilizing DNS TXT records
   for voluntary publication of various forms of contact. The intended
   purpose is to provide a faster means of reliable contact for
   professionals, cyber-defense of domains.
