Interpretation
How to read this signal
This signal is useful as public evidence of visible posture or change, not as a conclusion on its own.
Why it matters
RDAP helps .auDO keep registration-side evidence separate from DNS evidence. It can show what public registration data was available at collection time and gives context for registrar, status, date and redaction observations.
What change may indicate
RDAP changes may indicate a registrar update, registry process, source availability change, redaction change, collection fallback or a difference in how the public RDAP response is represented.
Limits
What it cannot tell us
RDAP is evidence from a public registration source, not an ownership judgement. RDAP alone cannot prove control, intent, governance maturity, risk, safety or whether a private registration process was handled well.
Observations are descriptive records, not risk scores, allegations or evidence of compromise.
