Re: EPP extensions working group

> Please see the note below from John Levine. Does anyone know of any other EPP extensions that meet the conditions laid out by Pete? I'd like to consider non-Verisign extensions, too.

Yes I agree in principle but not to most of the specific extensions below.

Great - that's very much needed as the IETF is in danger of becoming irrelevant in this particular niche.

I would add the following criteria

1.  Are not proprietary to a specific registry
2.  Have already had significant discussion and review on the provreg list
3.  Are not patent encumbered

> IDN Language Tag (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄idn-language-tag.pdf)
> RGP Poll Mapping (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄whois-info-extension.pdf)
> Whois Info Extension (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄whois-info-extension.pdf)
> ConsoliDate Mapping (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄consolidate-mapping.txt)
> NameStore Extension (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄namestore-extension.pdf)
> Low Balance Mapping (http:⁄⁄www.verisigninc.com⁄assets⁄low-balance-mapping.pdf)

None of which I would support for violating #2, mostly violating #1 and probably violating #3 of my criteria above.

(BTW How the hell does someone get forward slashes that are not forward slashes into URLs?)

> draft-obispo-epp-idn

Yes.

> draft-tan-epp-launchphase

Yes.

> If there are any more you think we should add, please let me know.

As Patrik points out, the shorter the list the better.

cheers
