Stop Guessing Which Sources Are Rigorous

Publishing Policy keeps one public record per domain: the standards the organization wrote, dated, with a fingerprint of each version. It grades nothing and makes no claim about how any system uses the register.

This is the structured data the address serves today. A machine-readable record file is listed on the state page as not yet built.

What a Record Gives You

The Organization's Own Words

Each record is the standards a domain's organization wrote and filed, after proving control of the domain by a DNS record.

Structured Data

Each record page carries schema.org structured data naming the organization, the address and the dates. A machine-readable file per record is not built yet.

Checkable Versions

Each official version has a fingerprint, and the current version's receipt can be re-checked with standard SHA-256 tools.
