Hi Steve,
I fail to see how this admittedly succinct summary of the existing options helps us move ahead the discussion as this basically only reflects the discussions we have over the past months.
At this point, we are likely either at option 7 or 8, which incidentally also describe the status quo.
The real issues start after making these basic definitions as there are complexities down the line following from the designations:
a) In case of C or O, does that lead to partial publication based on the designation? Does it lead to forwarding the designation to the registries? How would/should the registries treat those designations received? Can they rely on them? Will they rely on them without burdening registrars with further liability and indemnification requirements?
b) What happens down the road? Will agreeing to optional fields immediately lead to calls for them to be made into requirements by future work?
Best,
--
