RE: [registrars] EPP transfer

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry I missed the call. I was time zone challenged last week. I do have one
question. What is the reason behind the registries not requiring auth codes
until the transition is done? That would mean I'll have to have my transfer
process changed (UI and backend) to accommodate that. Many customers are
accustomed to that now and may be confused. So what is the benefit of doing
that?

Tim

Subject: [registrars] EPP transfer

Hi all - last Thursday we had a registrars only call to discuss our "wish
list" to send to the registries with regard to EPP transition.  The
conversation included more generally the question of registry-registrar
relations and we came up with a somewhat broader list.  I would like to
communicate it now to the registries.  Please see below and send me any
comments today.  I will send the final list to the registries tomorrow.


*	com/net registries should remain thin after transition;
*	registries should conduct an OT&E environment prior to initiating a
transition period
*	registries should sync up their business rules as much as possible
(e.g., whois fields)
*	a 3rd party should validate that the registries have synced the
rules prior to initiating a transition period
*	transition processes should be the same or as similar as possible
*	RRP-EPP transitions should allow for legacy registrations until
transitions are completed and checked in order not to turn off
registration/renewals
*	the transition should be as long as possible, at least through Q1
2005
*	com/net transition should allow for an additional year beyond BONI
*	the registries should not require auth codes for transfers until all
transition periods are done
*	an implementation committee that includes registrars should be
established
*	there should be a standardization of maintenance notices and other
types of notices and reports
*	registrars should be able to electronically query registries about
their balances
*	registries should provide a list of recommended developers for
reference by registrars that need consultants
