[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Open Items 3f/g - Contact validation rules

[Roger D Carney]

Good Morning,



I think that matching the max length in the RFC would be good. I would guess that most registrars have their own limits for these fields but it would be good to have the SRS match the RFC.





Thanks

Roger

Dear IRT Members,



I believe there was no subsequent discussion following the email from Theo below.



Are other registrars sharing the concerns/proposals ?

Are registries in a position to respond to these ?



Thank you in advance for your discussion.



Best Regards

Fabien
