Re: Defenition of Registry
OK, how about changing the definition from this:
"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."
to this:
"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 responsible for maintaining the integrity of
repository content. A registry is also typically responsible for
publication and distribution of TLD zone files used by the Domain Name
System."
I would leave it the way it was. This ``maintaining the intergrity
of repository content'' is way too strong. How can the registry be
resposible if the registrat is given wrong data? Are they still
resposible? This will give lawyers new business opportunities.
