[IRT.RegDataPolicy] Additional Thoughts Re yesterday's Rec. 7 discussion

[Margie Milam]

 Hi All –

After our IRT call, I reread Rec 7 and the supporting appendices, per Marc A’s suggestion.   Rec 7 links to the Data Elements Matrix on Page 10 (attached for your convenience) , which clearly describes what data is required to be transferred to the registry from the registrar, and what data is optional.
The 3rd page of the Data Elements Matrix (Transfer from Registrar to Registry), clearly notes an R (Required) for the contact data fields that are required to be transferred, which include all of the registrant contacts except for:

  *   the Org field
  *   the Tech Contact Name and Email Address ,
which are listed as O-RNH (Optional for the Registered Name Holder) for the purposes listed on the matrix (including, Purpose 2).

As a result, the new policy continues the “thick WHOIS” requirements and our implementation needs to be consistent with Thick WHOIS, especially in light of the Board’s resolution  and its anguage in the scorecard.

Also, please note that this data elements matrix is also relevant to our prior discussion regarding what “optional” means with regard to the Tech Contact and the Org Contact in Rec. 5, footnote 7.   Rec 5 also links to this Data Elements Matrix, and clarifies whether a field is optional to the registrar, registry or registered name holder.  Since the data elements of Tech Field and Org Field are clearly marked as O-RNH and do not include O-Rr (Optional for Registrar), our prior conclusions on Rec .5 need to be revisited in light of this documentation.

I propose we discuss this at our next IRT meeting.

All the best,

Margie
