Has the EPP world really changed?

Hi! Following the recent discussion on EPP extensions, some experience I made in the past crossed my mind; i.e. since 2005 I have been trying to convince first Registries, later Registrars to harmonize similar use cases and standardize them as EPP extensions. However, so far most of the Registries and Registrars have seen little incentive to put effort into harmonization of EPP extensions. Some typical answers were: * Registries: "Why should we go through the effort of standardizing and implementing standard EPP Extensions, if we can just define our own stuff and our Registars have to implement it anyways?" * (Big) Registrars: "Our system anyways talks to most of the Registries. So, why should we put effort in standardization, which only helps our competitors to build much simpler EPP Client systems?" Has the world really changed or are we about to run into the same barriers that have prevented EPP Extensions from being standardized in the past decade? All the best, Bernie -- http://ucom.ch/ Tech Consulting for Internet Technology _______________________________________________ provreg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/provreg
