Hello All, I support Alan’s points. I do not support a mandated 30 day implementation window. A mandated 30 day window of implementation is not only a departure from standard operating procedure for implementation of a new Consensus Policy, but also introduces significant technical challenges and risk. As discussed previously, to make changes responsibly most operators will have to approach implementing their “new” data set in a phased approach. For example, first an RO might make fields optional, then in a second phase they would stop accepting certain fields, and finally they would simply not offer certain fields. This allows Rys and Rrs to make a large change in manageable phases reducing the risk of complications in any one phase. I believe this would also be complicated for ICANN compliance. If all parties are making changes at the same time it could be overwhelming. However, if there is a phased approach, operators and compliance can work together to find a way that supports Compliance’s needs as well as operators’. It’s also important to note that this agreement on 18 month implementation has been in place since discussions around the Temporary Specification and operators have already begun their planning around that timeline. Finally, it’s standard procedure to allow for implementation of a Consensus Policy up to and including the final implementation date to allow for exactly the flexibility described above. I’m happy to chat further on this and to arrange to have one of our tech folks join a call and chat as well.

The arrangements to be put in place for compliance with the Registration Data Policy are complex. Registry operators shall need to ensure that we have adequate time to not only develop, but test and implement/launch system updates to address the expected changes. We also must ensure we engage in clear and collaborative efforts with registrar partners to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the impact of implementation to them and their operations. It would be our sincere hope that implementation expectations would remain as per usual, i.e. that the contracted parties may implement the policy at any time post the publication of the final policy, but no later than the last date for implementation. This will ensure and support a coordinated, phased and frankly a more stable implementation, for the benefit of all parties and the broader DNS. We also would like to remind that this path to implementation is required in the Interim Registration Data Policy. The current policy clearly notes that “During this stage, the contracted parties may implement either the Interim Policy or the Registration Data Policy in its entirety, or elements of both, as they prepare for the effective date of the Registration Data Policy document.” This was specifically inserted to provide flexibility to contracted parties, so as to ensure a measured and careful implementation period between publication of the policy and the final implementation date, acknowledging the likely complexity of this endeavor.
