Right -- I just figured that there are people on the list who might have an interest in the topic. > Who gets to be the client?

Andy and I had a chance to talk live yesterday; I think we both believe that there might be some use cases that avoid an intersection with CRISP. There _might_ be for a registry that wants to deploy both protocols. At a minimum, a light EPP UDP <check> might be a useful feature for a registry that wants to deploy EPP, but not the CRISP protocol. Anyway, it's something to talk about over a beer in Minneapolis. -Scott-
