As you have inserted that this notice will only be required for “material” changes, the RrSG is uncomfortable with the change. We would specifically ask for either a specific notice period required for material changes, or removal of “material” and have notice required for all changes. As changes to the System could require engineering efforts by registrars, which can require significant time and planning, we would prefer to build in one of these buffers.</div></div></div></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">- The RrSG would like to confirm that the license granted to the data elements in Section 2.7, which specifically references “through both the WHOIS and RDAP protocols,” does not obligate the registrar to operate a Whois service for the TLD after the official sunset of Whois by ICANN.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div><div><div><br>We noted a few typographical errors, that we would simply ask the registry operator to correct in the final version:<br><br></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div><div><div>- Section 1.15 is missing the word “agreement” between “means the” and “between”</div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div><div><div>- Section 1.17 defines “System” but the agreement uses the term “Registry System” – can you please confirm these are meant to be the same thing?</div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div><div><div>- We believe the term “Supported TLD” is a holdover from the previous version, as the term is not defined in this agreement, though “TLD” is defined.
