Request for additional evaluation time for Two-Factor Authentication

["Mason Cole" <masonc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Registrar Constituency has been made aware of VeriSign's registry
service proposal for a Two-Factor Authentication system.

 

We respectfully ask for an additional 15 days to evaluate this service
in more detail.  Because many registrars were traveling following the
ICANN meeting in Sydney, many were not aware of the request until well
into the initial 15-day review period.  

 

Further, and more important, the proposal as submitted regrettably does
not provide adequate detail for registrars to accurately assess the
operational impact on either their businesses or their customers.
Without a consultation with the service provider, we are unable to
provide informed commentary.  

 

Because registrars most often bear the burden of implementation of new
services and policies, it's critical that we have sufficient time to
review their impact.
