I think the 2nd formulation of Question #15 is better, as it's more open-ended, yet also asks for specifics on how concerns can be addressed. As an aside, the "Original Question" of #15 suggested "of course with a central database" --- there's no technical reason why a central database would be required. There could instead be multiple independent databases, which registrars and/or registries could query in parallel via a standardized API. There'd only need to be a central *list* of which TMCH providers needed to be queried. From a coding perspective, the registrar/registry could simply query the entire list of providers, and collate the results. Most registrars already have this technology/capability, as they often query multiple registries (and secondary marketplaces) in parallel when customers attempt a new domain name registration (e.g. customer searches for EXAMPLE.COM, but they'll query not only the Verisign-operated .com registry, but also .net/org/biz/info/us and hundreds of other TLDs, marketplaces like Sedo/Afternic, and they'll even generate and query variations of "EXAMPLE.TLD" for availability, presenting the customer with a list of hundreds of alternatives).

Dear All
In advance of the meeting of the Rights Protection Mechanisms Working Group on Wednesday at 1800 UTC, I am pleased to enclose the updated review of the TMCH Charter questions which has been prepared by the Sub-Team tasked to conduct an initial review of these questions.
Staff have been expressly asked to draw your attention to Question 15. Two possible formulations of this question have been prepared and the Sub-Team is seeking the view of the Working Group as to which of these should be adopted.
Kind regards,
David Tait
