Subject:
Defenition of Registry
Hi all, I just joined the list, and I saw from http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hollenbeck-grrp-reqs-05.txt : "Registry: An entity that provides back-end domain name registration services to registrars, managing a central repository of information for a given TLD. A registry is typically responsible for publication and distribution of TLD zone files used by the Domain Name System." Perhaps this is obvious, but I think it should be added somewhere that the Registry is also /responsible/ for the content in the repository. This means that the protocol we will be developing must allow the Registry to manage and be responsible for the content, even if a large number of Registrars simultainously are allowed to access and update the database. It is a challange, but it is possible. Best regards, Alf H .NO
