IANA's root zone database* currently lists 1,216 delegations. 901 of them are described as "generic", "generic-restricted", or "sponsored" top-level domains. Per the info you shared above, only 3 (0.003%) of the 901 gTLDs have an agreement that includes tiered-access provisions. The remainder (which represent a very significant majority) do not, and are thus excluded from "The current profile proposal does support/allow for tiered access" because "as long as an agreement provision, waiver, or Consensus Policy supports/allows such thing" is not met.
Will gTLDs that do not currently have an agreement provision, waiver, or Consensus Policy that allows tiered access be able to defer implementation until an agreement provision, waiver, or Consensus Policy that allows tiered access is in place?
What implementation are you suggesting to be deferred?
Are we talking about more than one? As I understand it, the profile has been written to describe proposed RDAP implementation requirements for gTLD registries and registrars. I'm asking if registries and registrars that wish to support tiered access will be able to defer an RDAP implementation until an agreement provision, waiver, or Consensus Policy that allows tiered access for more than 3 out of 901 gTLDs is in place.
