Hi, Apologies for being dense, but this conversation is confusing me.

Just so that I understand, why would you like a registry/registrar to defer their RDAP implementation until there is a tiered access provision/policy?
I won't speak for anyone else, but to me this was a primary motivator for RDAP. Having to do work on a brand new system twice because of ICANN policy/implementation mismatches seems like a needless burden on implementers.
AFAIK, ICANN's policy is: a) The proposed operational profile supports the use of tiered access (if, of course, your RDAP server has the code to do it) b) Because there has not been a consensus policy on the deployment of tiered access, if a registry wants to deploy tiered access they'll need to ask for a contractual waiver/amendment c) Registries have asked for and been granted amendments permitting/requiring tiered access without any policy process. Why would anyone have to "work on a brand new system twice"? Thanks, -drc
