[gnso-irtpc] Auth Info Code Use

["Knight, Barbara" <BKnight@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
I had an opportunity to further discuss the function of the auth info code with 
Scott Hollenbeck, our resident expert on this topic.  He informed me that the 
original intention of the auth-code was that it would be used to authenticate 
ANY type of domain update, i.e. transfers, name server changes, registrant 
changes, etc.).  He further indicated that while it can be used for any types 
of updates to a domain name, Registries and Registrars may need to do some 
additional development to implement its use to authenticate other types of 
updates.  I hope this helps to clarify that there is more flexibility in use of 
the auth-code than we thought.  If there are further questions, I can arrange 
to have Scott attend one of our meetings to answer additional questions 
relating to this topic.  Many thanks.
