Re: [ietf-provreg] URL element in contact mapping

[Hideki Noma <noma@humeia.ad.jp>]

Thank you for responding.

Sorry for late action.

How about this kind of element.

<contact:url>https://ssl.d4u.jp/Contact.cgi</contact:url>

or in case there needs some distinction on which type of url;
(like as whois offered by whois.internic.net)

<contact:url type="web">https://ssl.d4u.jp/Contact.cgi</contact:url>
<contact:url type="whois">whois.internic.net</contact:url>

this should serve fine.

Adding url parameter might help in solving the privacy issue as
offering another means to contact the registrant, don't you think so?
