===2023 Vote on Global Amendments===
On 19 January 2023, [[CPH|contracted parties]] began voting on the proposed 2023 Global Amendments to the Base Generic Top-level Domain Registry Agreement ([[RA]]) and the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement. The proposed global amendments specify operational requirements for providing Registration Data Directory Services ([[Whois|RDDS]]) via [[RDAP]] and detail the sunset of certain obligations for registries and registrars to provide RDDS via the WHOIS protocols. Contracted parties have 60 days to approve or reject the proposed global amendments. Voting is carried out by eBallot, a secure third-party online voting platform operated by Votenet. For approval, a majority threshold will have to be met for gTLD registries (over 50 percent) and ICANN-accredited registrars (90 percent).<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-contracted-parties-set-to-vote-on-rdap-amendments-12-01-2023-en Contracted Parties to vote on RDAP Amendments, ICANN Blogs]</ref>
