I agree with Theo; my understanding was that RDAP profile was a Registry requirement also, not a registrar requirement.

Least that was the key take away for me from the last session this week. Thank you, Theo Michele Neylon - Blacknight schreef op 2016-07-14 03:23 AM:
This is contrary to how changes are normally implemented and I suspect quite a few of us would have issues with this. These kind of changes are of zero benefit to registrars and are only implemented as a contractual obligation. Imposing further restrictions on when we can implement them has a non-zero impact on us, so I would oppose this

Dear colleagues,
As you may recall the gTLD RDAP profile and Thick Whois policy implementation – Consistent Labeling and Display (CL&D for short) are synchronized and have a proposed effective date of 1 February 2017. This means enforcement would start on that date. However, in monitoring compliance with a given policy or contractual requirement we also need time to develop our tools and be able to *not* report false compliance issues (e.g., our current tool would raise an issue if it encounters the new Whois output that is specified in CL&D). We need to update that tool to avoid that issue from happening.
We’d like to add to both CL&D and the RDAP profile a “do not implement before” date to avoid the aforementioned issue. We are thinking we are going to need approximately four months to update/build our tools be able to identify the updated Whois output and RDAP output. That would give contracted parties approximately a two-month window for release before the effective. We are planning to add such a date to the documents, unless there is a reason why people think we should not.
Regards,
-- Francisco
