RE: Push vs. not Push
As an implementer from a gTLD registry perspective, my preference is for polling. I can't speak directly for any registrar. Although I would like to point out that in my past experience I have implemented the gTLD registrar end of the system. Drawing from that experience I would again vote for polling. I can see many easy solutions for implementing polling on the registrar end.

In the time since the meeting, there have been some strong objections in email to this change. After going through the email and minutes, I think that there is a need to poll the list to see if folks want the "push" mechanism to be defined or not. As far as the merits of such a mechanism, please refrain from commenting on that, as it appears in archived messages. My sense is that we aren't arguing the merits of push, but rather, whether implementors would be willing to add this feature in response to user (registr*) needs. In your response, let me know which registr*'s you are speaking for, so that we can determine if there is a pattern to differing opinions (e.g., gTLDs vs. ccTLDs). If you feel that you don't want to disclose this publicly, please send the message to just "jaap@sidn.nl, lewis@tislabs.com" - ie the chairs. If you do this, it might be a good idea to send a public version of your message to the list so others know how you feel on the issue. In either case, we (the chairs) will put a sanitized summary out on the list is short order. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis NAI Labs Phone: +1 443-259-2352 Email: lewis@tislabs.com You fly too often when ... the airport taxi is on speed-dial.
