Sorry I missed the call. I was time zone challenged last week. I do have one question. What is the reason behind the registries not requiring auth codes until the transition is done? That would mean I'll have to have my transfer process changed (UI and backend) to accommodate that. Many customers are accustomed to that now and may be confused. So what is the benefit of doing that?

The conversation included more generally the question of registry-registrar relations and we came up with a somewhat broader list. I would like to communicate it now to the registries. Please see below and send me any comments today. I will send the final list to the registries tomorrow. * com/net registries should remain thin after transition; * registries should conduct an OT&E environment prior to initiating a transition period * registries should sync up their business rules as much as possible (e.g., whois fields) * a 3rd party should validate that the registries have synced the rules prior to initiating a transition period * transition processes should be the same or as similar as possible * RRP-EPP transitions should allow for legacy registrations until transitions are completed and checked in order not to turn off registration/renewals * the transition should be as long as possible, at least through Q1 2005 * com/net transition should allow for an additional year beyond BONI * the registries should not require auth codes for transfers until all transition periods are done * an implementation committee that includes registrars should be established * there should be a standardization of maintenance notices and other types of notices and reports * registrars should be able to electronically query registries about their balances * registries should provide a list of recommended developers for reference by registrars that need consultants Elana Broitman Register.com 575 Eighth Avenue New York, NY 10018 Phone (212) 798-9215
