<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Hey
Roger,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">You raised a very good point
on the required fields. You missed out on a fairly lively discussion on
this topic during today’s IRT meeting.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">You are correct in that this
document reflects what is listed in RFC 5733 which defines EPP for
contacts. Per that RFC the address and phone fields are not required so
it would be possible for Registrars to create contacts without passing that
data to the Registry.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Krista put this much more
eloquently then I will be able to here, but this does not reflect or impact
what Registrars are required to collect from Registrants or any of their
complete and accurate requirements. It is simply the field validation
rules that I am proposing we implement.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I think it’s good that Fabien
added this to the agenda for today’s meeting. Clearly from the call
there are differing opinions on if these fields (specifically Address 1 and
email) should be required by the Registry. I think this is exactly the
type of item the IRT should be discussing and providing advice to ICANN staff
on.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">If the consensus of the IRT is
that Registries should make those fields mandatory then that is the advice we
should provide to ICANN staff, who are ultimately responsible for drafting the
consensus policy language. My request is that the consensus policy
language makes it clear one way or another. For example, should it be
left to Registry policy (as the RFC seems to suggest), should those fields be
optional, or should those fields be mandatory.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Thick WhoIs IRT - contact validation
rules<o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Dear IRT Members,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>At the last IRT meeting we discussed that in order for
Registrars to properly assess the amount of work involved in the backfill of
thick data for existing Registrations, it is necessary to know the fields
required and their validation rules.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Along with providing that information, I want to make sure
everyone has the same understanding of the difference between a thin Registry
and a thick Registry. A thin domain registration does not have any
contacts associated with it. Currently, a Registrar cannot even create
contacts for the .com or .net Registry.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As part of a transition to thick, the com/net registry
would start supporting contacts by allowing Registrars to add, modify and
delete contacts. A thick domain registration MUST have a
contact ID for each contact type (Registrant, Admin, Technical and
Billing). The same contact can be re-used across domains and/or contact
types. For example, if a Registrant were to register two domains in a
thick gTLD via the same Registrar, that Registrar could create one contact and
associate that with both domain registrations or could create two separate
contacts, one for each domain. Either is fine, but I’m calling it out
because it will have an impact on the effort required by Registrars to
backfill thick data for existing registrations. There are no other
differences between a thin and a thick registration.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I recognize that the Billing contact is not universally
required by all thick Registries. Some (including Verisign) require it;
some allow it as an optional field and some don’t allow it at all. I
don’t believe this was addressed by the Thick WhoIs PDP working group so it
may be worth consideration by the IRT.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Attached please find a document containing the contact
validation rules that Verisign would implement to assist Registrars in
assessing impacts.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></P>
