Hi all –
Noting the desire to “clean up” the impressions document, I hoped to shift from a
margin comment conversation to an email conversation for the specific issue of whether/not RDRS can pass requests to participating registrars regardless of whether/not the domain is a TLD.
Below are pasted the original feedback topic, and the subsequent margin comments.
I will next respond to my own email (this) to continue the discussion, but wanted to make a clean break before adding anything new.
Cheers,
G

Pinned for further discussion. Existing RDS/WHOIS queries provide this information a non-zero
% of time - is this intended to say technical staff can't guarantee to have the info 100% of the time? Clarity sought.

In other words: what other info does ICANN tech staff think is needed in order to route the request
to the registrar as is done in gTLD contexts?

Additionally: PSWG is hearing from some ccTLD operators their desire to voluntarily participate
in RDRS, which may assist in solving any challenges.

Just an FYI that RDDS requirements for ccTLDs are Unstandardized/Unenforceable as there is no contract
for ccTLDs with ICANN.
