FW: [RrSG-Members] Fwd: ACTION REQUESTED: Thick Whois/RDAP Implementation

[Wayne Diamond <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

DiaMatrix CC (IANA # 1645) supports the alternative framework proposed by 
Google Inc. in its comments on Thick Whois/RDAP 
Implementation<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-rdap-profile-03dec15/pdfXEuYViKmu4.pdf>.

We agree that the consistent display requirements in the Thick Whois Policy 
could be better implemented as follows:

     *   Having registries include the Registrar Abuse Contact Email and Phone 
Number in their Whois Outputs;
     *   Keeping the Reseller Field Optional for both registries and 
registrars; and
     *   Having Registries continue to display only one expiration date (the 
registry expiration date).
Considering that this proposed alternative would condense the timeline for the 
remaining thin registries to transition to thick and show fields that are 
currently only required in the registrar output within the registry output, 
registrars should not be required to implement RDAP. Pending policy development 
work that is applicable to RDAP, registries (and registrars that optionally 
implement RDAP) should be free to develop their own operational practices for 
RDAP and be encouraged to share their findings and experiences to inform future 
policy development work.

Regards,

Wayne Diamond
