Re: Draft provreg charter
The effort to define a generic registrar registry protocol has been underway for some time now, seeking input from various groups. Little or no interest has been expressed until now, hence the compressed schedule presented in the charter. Interest and attendence at the BOF meeting in San Diego was much greater than anticipated. Although the hope is that the existing documents are in good shape, the desire is to generate a protocol that is beneficial to all involved and in a timely manner. Although we would like to have quick results, arriving at a solid protocol is more important than the schedule. Bare in mind that delays in achieving the protocol specification may have an impact on the registry to registrar business model for some time. With this in mind, what is the feeling about: Apr, 2001 WG agreement on functional requirements for protocol May, 2001 Initial specification of provreg protocol This allows for a face to face meeting at the next IETF (providing the WG is formed) before the deadline for the two documents. But, please, continue to provide comments on the existing documents in a timely fashion.
