Re: Recombining the claims1 and claims2 phases to the claims phase in draft-tan-epp-launchphase?

Alexander,

Yes the overlap of the phases is an open issue.  My thought is that based on the use of the claims check and the extra validation and properties required on the create that the primary phase should be "claims".  The sub-phase could be used  to express an overlapping phase like landrush.  Outside of the TMCH model, landrush should be a first class phase, so the thought is to leave it as a primary phase for non-TMCH launches like for ccTLDs.  Since the definition of the sub-phase should be flexible, maybe for the overlap we just add some text to the draft defining the recommended approach for this.  Should landrush as a sub-phase of claims be the recommended approach?  Are there any other recommendations in dealing with the likely overlapping phases in the TMCH model?

James,

I agree that it doesn’t make sense to keep the two distinct „claims“ phase identifiers in the draft, and hence support (at least) merging them.

On a more general note, i think there’s a layering problem with the „claims“ phase notion in general. Since the time phase during which Claims Services are required to be active might span several other „phases“, during which the client has no choice than provide the claims notice information (or be refused registrations).

For example, a registry might want to do the following sequence:

sunrise(30d) – custom (30d) – landrush/auction (30d) - open

Applying ICANN‘s most recent TMCH RPMs to the example above, Claims services would be required for custom (assuming it’s a „limited registration period“), landrush, and then at least first 60d of the open registration period (. So the „claims“ phase label would actually be an independent „property“ of the full time span of the custom and landrush phases, and the first 60d of the open registration.  In some cases, Claims services might be active for just part of an phase.

So, if „claims“ is just a name of a phase, fine. It would probably not be used in the startup sequence outlined above. But if „claims“ would be required if claims services are active, i don’t see how the above sequence could be expressed using the available names. An option would be to reduce the „claims“ phase to an attribute of all phases, such as:

<launch:phase claims=‘active‘>custom</launch:phase>

But, coming back to my original point: There is almost zero risk when a client fails to designate to the server that claims services are active. Worst that can happen is that the server refuses the transaction because of a claims notice information. Which means that we could probably even drop the „claims“ phase designation entirely?

I’m not asking for any of these changes to be applied to the document – this is supposed to be food for though... Comments?

Betreff: [provreg] Recombining the claims1 and claims2 phases to the claims phase in draft-tan-epp-launchphase?

We are currently working on the draft-tan-epp-launchphase-09 updates and wanted to know what the list felt about replacing the "claims1" and "claims2" phases with simply the "claims" phase.  The split of "claims" to "claims1" and "claims2" occurred after the LA meeting in the 04 draft.  Since draft-lozano-tmch-func-spec doesn't reference claims2, it doesn't seem to make sense to continue to reference it within draft-tan-epp-launchphase and recombine "claims1" and "claims2" into "claims".  Please post your thoughts to the list or privately on this potential change.

Thanks,
