(And I'm not saying it has to be EPP or not has to be EPP.) A few messages back I mentioned that in meetings with some registries, doing the work to increase commonality was judged to be "not worth it." A response on this list was that I was reporting something that was a sampling of a few registries and not representative of registrars. My comeback (which I just didn't get around to asking until now) is the registries do know at some level of familiarity, what registrars go through. The relationship is more symbiotic than adversarial. And, as a challenge, if registries' opinion is not sufficient, is there any data that does come from registrars? I mean, a lot of us want to build nice, neat systems. And I'm sure anyone using the protocol would like something nice and neat. But, are there material complaints against what we have now and a willingness to reinvest in achieving something nicer and neater. I'll grant that having one universal solution is a nice and neat thing to have. But I have yet to see that it is crucial to have "one" universal solution given my experience in operator arenas. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis NeuStar You can leave a voice message at +1-571-434-5468 When talking about a long day keep this in mind (found on wikipedia.org): Because the earliest and latest time zones are 26 hours apart, any given calendar date exists at some point on the globe for 50 hours. _______________________________________________ provreg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/provreg
