[registrars] Using IANA IDs

[Jay Westerdal]

Marcus,
We support it. Sounds great.

But I do have have one question. What does a Registry put when the Registrar
is not an offical Registrar, yet still is the Registrar-of-record? 

Examples:
R222-LROR = Afilias Reserved 1
R194-LRMS = Test Registrar 1 
R197-LROR = Verisign Global Registry Services
R198-LROR = VeriSign GRS (ORG)
R214-LROR = VGRS Internal390
R233-LROR = LibertyRMS Co. (PIR's fake company)
R12-LROR  = 7 DC, Inc. (PIR's fake company)
R121-LROR = Vayala Corp. (PIR's fake company)
R152-LROR = Affinity Internet, Inc. (PIR's fake company)
TERMINATED REGISTRAR found at VeriSign-GRS


Do all these have IANA IDs? If not, what number do they get? Or what happens
to these Registrars? It seams like lots of domains get registered by
non-ICANN registrars.

Marcus I 100% agree with you, IANA IDs would make this a lot easier.

Hi all,

I propose that the registries implement the following change:

Instead of using proprietory registrar ids, standardized ids shall be used
both on protocol level (rrp/epp/reports etc.) and in the whois output.

The effect would be that for example CORE is IANA-15 in all registry
communication and not R135-LRMS at Afilias, R23-LROR at PIR and so on.
Especially transfers would become simpler, e.g. registrants will be less 
confused who they want to transfer their domain to,

Yours,
Marcus
