Registries and registrars will be expected to provide a public-facing service for public data, and some form of non-public (details TBD; perhaps with client authentication, for example) service for ICANN's use to retrieve non-public data. Clients will need to submit two queries to form a complete RDAP response: one must be sent to ICANN's service for non-public data, and the second must be sent to the appropriate registry/registrar for public data. Assuming I've described it correctly, I'm trying to understand if this model is a suggestion or a requirement.


Ah! Now I understand.

But I disagree. :)
I client seeking non-public data would use the non-public data query
mechanism and the answer from that should contain both non-public data
and public data. Why would it not?

I do agree that if we develop a system requiring clients to submit two
separate queries to two separate sources and then to merge the answers
is far less than ideal.
