I have reached out for an explanation there is nothing on their site that was added under faq or news.

That’s an interesting choice from the registrar
Maybe I’m saying a stupid thing , but what if we see it in this way :
There has been many TM cases involving AI domains.
Maybe the choice of not showing registration data is related to this.

Whois also requires you to login: Changes being made without any announcements.

Regular whois (on port 43) still works.
But doesn't show the date either.

Vince from .Ai got back to me, I asked him

Why did the registration date data disappear from the whois?

We moved to a different machine but basically that info is for the owner of the domain and not the public.

I thought so!

& notice one of .ai domain want to reg. in 2023 ( summer ) now is on expired domains .ai this is not possible because you reg for 2 years

Vincent Cate is the guy at .ai who handles things. I started looking into that whether a registration date is required. @jmcc do you know? Thank you

 

[internext]

Bison.ai for $50k?? Thats BULL!! (...congrats)

This is a possibility but also probably if is hide no longer to know or only know if is reg. or free for reg. a domain

Clever or something else who manage .ai
In this way he can do what ever you want with dropped domains , reg. domains etc..

On expireddomains already not show what domains are expired & i think should remove the extension

I think ( at least one person ) Rick The King he will give up on .ai for lack of new transparency

Not tracking .AI but it is a repurposed ccTLD and outside ICANN gTLD rules. Even the old gTLD WHOIS on port 43 system for the gTLDs is falling apart due to the vandalism of GDPR. The "moving to a different server" excuse makes sense given the interest in .AI ccTLD. Some ccTLDs, especially in Europe, return little or no data.

Perhaps from a registry point of view (.AI) they didn't want people plundering the .AI WHOIS for contacts and registration dates (being able to guess when a domain name might expire). The login is also an extreme form of rate limiting that would put the registry in complete control over what remaining data could be accessed. The registration date (and subsequent expiry date) also becomes important when a registry wants to funnel expired premiums to its own resale operation rather than allowing them to drop normally. There's big difference between the gTLDs and the ccTLDs. ICANN makes the rules for the gTLDs. The ccTLD registry (or local government administration) makes the rules for its ccTLD.

Technically, ccTLDs have their own rules but they don't generally take away domain names from registrants like that. It is bad for business.

There are some threads here about Covid related domain names being frozen by ccTLD registries (I think that one thead mentioned the .ES ccTLD). The ccTLDs are the ultimate "buyer beware" opportunity for domainers and it is important to read the terms and conditions before registering. Domain names being removed from registrants also happens in the gTLDs. Some of 4Ls and 5Ls were locked (I think they were shifted to the FBI holding nameservers rather than one of the sinkhole nameservers) because a reverse-engineered Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) that had been used for some malware had them in the list. The registrants were completely innocent and the domain names were not used for malware. Even gTLD registries have to comply with Law Enforcement.
