Re: [ietf-provreg] our meeting slot in SF
This is an issue-reminder, assuming that the IESG is responsive on the privacy/data colleciton issue. mappings over transports other than tcp. The IESG claim is that commands cannot be reordered, which seems to be reasonable for the transformational subset of epp commands, but not the informational subset of epp commands, and this "resonability" appers to be limited to com/net/org/info/biz/name transactions. Email is used, as a transport for XML and BNF, elsewhere. Non-interoperation by intent is an odd proposition, particularly by non-implementors and non-operators. The IESG claim is also that applications protocols must provide congestion control. I'm afraid this new requirement seems reflexive, not the product of actual reflection on the deployment of epp. The publication protocols commonly in use with registry provisioning include UDP, with absurdly large difference in scale. Connectionism by design is an odd proposition too, again by non-implementors and non-operators. It would be reasonable if this work were within the ITU, which is both connectionist and mandarinist. Just out of curiosity, since whois is such a problem, why on earth is the inferred provisioning of social data to the com/net/org et alia whois servers not _historic_? The US DCA is very, very, dead as an Agency of Notice or Fashion. Eric
