[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] RDS Statement of Purpose

Just to make sure I understand, my description of the life cycle 
carefully did not speak to when a domain name is under control of a 
registrant or not.  I was carefully leaving that question as a detail 
inside of the events we decide that are part of the life cycle.  This 
allows us, for example, to include “reserving” names inside of 
creation, which would make the domain name under the control of the 
registry versus the registrant.

As I understand your point, you are reminding us that the point at which 
a domain name is under control of registrant versus not will have 
downstream effects when we consider privacy laws.

Do I have that right or have I misunderstood?

Jim
