Re: Launch Phase EPP Extension Version 08

Seth & Ben,

Being explicit is certainly good.  Do the Registrars have an issue with the registries requiring the extension to be passed as a form of signaling the intent for creates during the launch phases?  If so, should an element or attribute be added on the create to indicate whether the intent is to create an application or registration?  The phase alone might not define the intent.

I think the extension would be preferable. It can serve as a signal of intent from the registrar that they know exactly what phase they're applying for. I could perhaps envision a scenario where there's some intercommunication between the registry and registrar on the ending time of sunrise, and the registrar ends up creating an application instead of an allocated registration on create.

James,

In an environment where multiple TLDs are hosted on the same server, where TLDs can be in different phases, then it might seem like a good idea to ask the registrar to pass in the <lauch:create> extension to confirm that they know what they are asking for (sunrise application vs landrush application vs registration).  And it might not only be for landrush, but some registries may have multiple sunrise periods where the second sunrise is based on other criteria (belonging to an organization, or to a group for example), and not on Mark data.

But I also realize that making the <choice> optional means that we can't rely on XML validation to ensure that those elements are passed for regular ICANN mandated sunrise periods.

I would be interested to hear from other registries planning on running landrush phases and whether they feel that an extension would be preferable or not.

Cheers,

Ben

Ben,

If the registry does not require any additional launch information from the client on the create (mark or notice), then the extension does not need to be passed.  By making the mark or notice optional on the create, the only element passed would be the phase.  Do you believe that passing the phase and requirement the extension will help in the contract between the client and the server for a non-sunrise phase where a notice is not required?  I recommend only adding the extension when it is needed.
