[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] irregularities within RDAP

Thanks Dennis,

First of all, if we look what has been published is that RDAP should be 
implemented Feb 1, 2017 (draft 1 April). What I am missing, is a 
transition period. If everyone implements it, and shuts down the WHOIS 
servers we have a problem.

The resource records related to the RDAP service MUST be signed with 
DNSSEC, and the DNSSEC chain of trust from the root trust anchor to the 
name of the RDAP server MUST be valid at all times.
-Looks sensible, but I cannot find this in the RFC's mentioned, is the 
above language a result of this?

In the case (i.e. uppercase and lowercase) of the data returned in RDAP 
responses SHOULD preserve the case received via EPP.
-TG- This needs to be specified perhaps for contact fields for example. 
As it, reads now you register ExAmPlE.com but you cannot return, 
example.com. Least that is how I read it.

The domain object in the RDAP response MUST contain entities with the 
following roles. Exactly one entity per role MUST be present in the 
response.
-TG-Most gTLDs support more roles. Is there no support or does the 
policy ends this support for more roles?

-RDAP does not support a country code for a contact, rather RDAP 
requires a full country name.
-TG- This, is a mapping nightmare, not everyone supports the official 
mapping, not sure how much work this is and will vary from Registrar to 
Registrar.

If the queried domain name is allocated, the following applies: If 
allocated variant domain names exist for the queried domain name, or if 
the domain name is an allocated variant domain name, the domain object 
in the RDAP response MUST contain a variants member [RFC7483].
-TG- We do not store this, and it seems to contradict the following  in 
the profile :"The purpose of this profile is to specify the RDAP 
requirements that are in line with the current Whois service requirements."

Best regards,

Theo
