==Name resources==
RDAP databases for registered names are maintained after ICANN agreement.<ref name="icann2013"/> Name resources are much slower, as the number of registries under ICANN is huge. In addition, as the [[GDPR]] became enforceable, in May 2018, the problem of personal data divulged via WHOIS or RDAP slowed adoption further.<ref>{{cite web |title=Haunted by Europe's GDPR, ICANN sharpens wooden stake to finally slay the Whois vampire |author=Kieren McCarthy |date=October 23, 2019 |url=https://www.theregister.com/2019/10/23/icann_kills_whois/ |work=[[The Register]]}}</ref>
== WHOIS Replacement ==
On January 19th 2023 ICANN opened voting on a global amendment to all it's registry and registrar agreements. In it they defined a RDAP Ramp-Up Period of 180 days starting with the effectiveness of this amendment. 360 days after this period is defined as the WHOIS Services Sunset Date, after which it is not a requirement for registries and registrars to offer a WHOIS service and instead only a RDAP service is required. All voting thresholds were met within the 60 day voting period and the amendment will be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval and implementation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2023 Global Amendments to the Base gTLD Registry Agreement (RA), Specification 13, and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) - ICANN |url=https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/global-amendment-2023-en |access-date=2023-04-07 |website=www.icann.org}}</ref>
