Dear colleagues, As you may know, most gTLD registries and registrars have a provision in their respective agreements to implement RDAP. However, before requesting RDAP implementation, we would like your thoughts and inputs on which features, basic parameters, and objects will need to be implemented. We are calling this document the RDAP Operational Profile for gTLD Registries and Registrars. Attached you will find the first draft of the RDAP Operational Profile for gTLD Registries and Registrars (in Word and PDF formats). We are planning a session on the subject during both the ICANN meeting in Dublin and the IETF in Yokohama. Your feedback on this early document would be greatly appreciated by 9 November 2015. By then, we expect to have an updated document that we plan to publish for public comment around mid November. Regards, -- Francisco Arias Director, Technical Services Domain Name Services & Industry Engagement Global Domains Division ICANN
