[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Thick Transition policy draft v5 for IRT review

[Anderson, Marc]

Dennis,

I have some additional feedback on the thick transition policy document.  Section 2.3 in this version reads:


2.3   By 1 May 2017, Registry Operator MUST provide to applicable Registrars and ICANN, documentation reflecting the system changes necessary to support the requirements of Sections 2.1 concerning relevant Operating Test Environments (OT&E) available to Registrars and by 1 August 2017 for Section 2.2.

I believe one of the intents of this section is to require Registries to have the OT&E environment ready for Registrars to begin testing with contacts starting 1 May 2017.  This is what we’ve discussed on IRT calls and what is represented in the timeline chart.  It has been pointed out to me that reading this section it is not clear that Registries are required to start supporting contact operations in OT&E on 1 May 2017.

I suggest splitting this out into two sections one for the documentation requirement, and one for the OT&E requirement.  How about something along these lines:

By 1 May 2017, Registry Operator MUST provide to applicable Registrars and ICANN, documentation reflecting the system changes necessary to support the requirements of Sections 2.1

and

Registry Operator MUST deploy an EPP mechanism in relevant Operating Test Environments (OT&E) by 1 May 2017 for registrars to test the migration of registration data for Existing Domain Names (i.e., transition from Thin to Thick).

I think that makes it a little clearer what is required and when.

Thank you,
Marc
