[gnso-irtp-b-jun09] Recommendation #7 - WHOIS status messages

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recommendation #7: The WG recommends standardizing and clarifying WHOIS status 
messages regarding Registrar Lock status. The goal of these changes is to 
clarify why the Lock has been applied and how it can be changed. Based on 
discussions with technical experts, the WG does not expect that such a 
standardization and clarification of WHOIS status messages would require 
significant investment or changes at the registry/registrar level. The WG 
recommends that ICANN staff is asked to develop an implementation plan for 
community consideration which ensures that a technically feasible approach is 
developed to implement this recommendation.

Comments:

 *   The WG agreed to add a sentence to note that the WG does not expect that 
the implementation of such status messages would result in significant 
investments that would justify price increases. Proposed language has been 
added to therecommendation for WG review. (please see proposed addition 
underlined above for review)

Please share your comments, suggestions and/or proposed edits with the mailing 
list.
