<p class="MsoNormal">This is intended to be administrative feedback and not at all related to the substance of the recommendation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can we avoid saying that certain language in the temporary specification should “remain in place”? Once the one year period is up, the language in the temporary specification can no longer “remain in place”. We can confirm it as policy,
reject it or recommend modifications to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This also provides an example of where simply referencing the temporary specification will lead to implementation headaches. As written, sections 2.1 and 3 of the temp spec are specifically noted. Section 2.1 provides the instructions
that the requirements in sections 2 and 4 MUST be applied. This includes language that conflicts with other recommendations such as section 2.6 which covers privacy/proxy. Unpacking what is intended by this recommendation from its literal meaning can lead
to implementation challenges and delays.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Going back and re-reading sections 2.1 and 3 of the temp spec may leave someone confused as to what we intended in our recommendation, particularly if that someone has not been a part of our deliberations. On the other hand the “for the
avoidance of doubt” part of the recommendation is clear and to the point. “<b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The EPDP Team recommends that Registrars and Registry Operators<span class="apple-converted-space">
</span></span></b><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">are permitted to differentiate between registrants on a geographic basis, but are not obligated to do so.</span></b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">”
To avoid confusion later, we should consider using just that language, or if there is specific language in sections 2.1 and 3 that are needed, include it in the text of the recommendation itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
h1) Should Registry Operators and Registrars (“Contracted Parties”) be permitted or required to differentiate between registrants on a geographic basis?<br>
