[gnso-rpm-wg] RPMs Working Group: Updated TMCH Charter Questions tabulated categories document

[George Kirikos]

I think the 2nd formulation of Question #15 is better, as it's more
open-ended, yet also asks for specifics on how concerns can be
addressed.

As an aside, the "Original Question" of #15 suggested "of course with
a central database" --- there's no technical reason why a central
database would be required. There could instead be multiple
independent databases, which registrars and/or registries could query
in parallel via a standardized API. There'd only need to be a central
*list* of which TMCH providers needed to be queried. From a coding
perspective, the registrar/registry could simply query the entire list
of providers, and collate the results.

Most registrars already have this technology/capability, as they often
query multiple registries (and secondary marketplaces) in parallel
when customers attempt a new domain name registration (e.g. customer
searches for EXAMPLE.COM, but they'll query not only the
Verisign-operated .com registry, but also .net/org/biz/info/us and
hundreds of other TLDs, marketplaces like Sedo/Afternic, and they'll
even generate and query variations of "EXAMPLE.TLD" for availability,
presenting the customer with a list of hundreds of alternatives).

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
