[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Back to basics

[Klaus Stoll]

Dear Michael

Thank you for this. I never understood from where ICANN takes the right 
for Specification 4 and still don't. Maybe someone can enlighten me, 
there might be a very good reason that eludes me.

Until then, I still think that ICANN should  only be responsible for the 
information that is needed for the DNS. If a Registry wants to add 
fields, they should be able to do this under the limits of the law under 
which they are registered. In an ideal case these additional field 
should be voluntarily for the Registrant on an opt in basis.

If ICANN acts as a regulator at one point and as a technical 
co-ordination at another, does ICANN do it to ensure the different 
aspects of a secure and staple DNS. If yes, then this logic should be 
explained, discussed and made transparent, (isn't what the policy making 
processes and the WG's are for), if not, ICANN has a real problem.

Thanks again.

Klaus
