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

[James Galvin]

I chose to use the terms creation to expiration, reserving registration 
to be used to describe the process of associating an identity with the 
domain name.

A question I would ask is if reserving a domain name could be one type 
of creation?  If so, another type could be when it is assigned to a 
registrant.  There may be other types.

Similarly, archiving a domain name (or its contact information) could be 
a sub-step of expiration, that could in fact be optional.

More generally, what I’m asking is if you really believe we need to 
have an additional endpoint at each end or if the steps you are calling 
out are part of the existing end points?

Thanks,

Jim
