    Dear colleagues,
    
    Apologies for the confusion caused, I wrote "do not implement before" when I meant "do not deploy before" date. In other words, we are proposing to have a date for when this new functionality can be turned on. Contracted parties can, of course, start implementation/development at their convenience. ICANN’s objective for the do not deploy before date is to allow ICANN’s tools to be updated to account for the changes required by CL&D, thus preventing our tools from generating false non-conformance reports during testing and/or monitoring.  
    
    After discussing this internally, we think we only need this date for the CL&D policy and not for RDAP. As a reminder, the CL&D policy only applies to registries.
    
    In summary, we are proposing to have a "do not deploy before" date for the CL&D policy that only applies to registries.
    
    Regards,

        This is contrary to how changes are normally implemented and I suspect quite a few of us would have issues with this. 
        These kind of changes are of zero benefit to registrars and are only implemented as a contractual obligation. Imposing further restrictions on when we can implement them has a non-zero impact on us, so I would oppose this

This means enforcement would start on that date. However, in monitoring compliance with a given policy or contractual requirement we also need time to develop our tools and be able to *not* report false compliance issues (e.g., our current tool would raise an issue if it encounters the new Whois output that is specified in CL&D). We need to update that tool to avoid that issue from happening.

We are thinking we are going to need approximately four months to update/build our tools be able to identify the updated Whois output and RDAP output. That would give contracted parties approximately a two-month window for release before the effective. We are planning to add such a date to the documents, unless there is a reason why people think we should not.
