Authors,

While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the 
following questions, which are also in the source file.

1) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in
the title) for use on https://www.rfc-editor.org/search. -->


2) <!--[rfced] search response vs. response code vs. response

The original uses various terms ("search response" and "response code"
and "response") after an HTTP status code. Would you like to update 
"search response" to "response code" to match 2 instances in this document 
or "status code" to match the cited document (RFC 9110) or otherwise? 
For example:

Original: ... with a HTTP 404 (Not Found) [RFC9110] search response.
Option A: ... with an HTTP 404 (Not Found) [RFC9110] response code. 
Option B: ... with an HTTP 404 (Not Found) [RFC9110] status code. 
-->


3) <!-- [rfced] In Figure 5, two lines are longer than the line limit.
To resolve this, is moving the two lines to the left as shown below
acceptable? If not, please provide your preferred solution.

-19.xml(940): Warning: Too long line found (L677), 1 characters longer than 72 
characters: 
         ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-up/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",
-19.xml(940): Warning: Too long line found (L684), 2 characters longer than 72 
characters: 
         ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-top/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",

Current:
         "href":
         ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-up/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",
[...]
         "href":
         ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-top/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",

Perhaps:
         "href":
        ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-up/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",
[...]
         "href":
       ".../rdap/ips/rirSearch1/rdap-top/2001:db8:a::/48?status=active",
-->


4) <!--[rfced] For clarity, how may this be rephrased?
Specifically, please clarify "not necessarily mean". Does this mean 
it can go either way (results or no results)?  The original is of 
the form "the absence of X does not necessarily mean that Y 
will return no results".

Original:
   The absence in
   a response of a link for a specific relation does not necessarily
   mean that the corresponding search will return no results.

Option A (using "may or may not"):
   In a response, the absence of a link for a specific relation may 
   or may not mean that the corresponding search returns zero results.

Option B (using "may or may not", and "cause" instead of "mean"):
   In a response, the absence of a link for a specific relation may 
   or may not cause the corresponding search to return zero results.
-->


5) <!-- [rfced] Please review whether the "type" attribute is set as
intended for sourcecode elements in the XML file. If the current list 
of preferred values for "type"
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=sourcecode-types) does not
contain an applicable type, then feel free to suggest a new one.
Also, it is acceptable to leave the "type" attribute not set.  

FYI, in Figure 8 (IPv4 Network Search Response) and similar, we changed
sourcecode type="drawing" to type="json", as "drawing" is not a type 
of sourcecode - and because of usage in STD 95 (on the intake form,
you wrote to follow STD 95): we see RFC 9083, Figure 32 contains a 
search response in sourcecode with type="json"
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9083.html#figure-32).
Please let us know if you prefer otherwise.
-->


6) <!--[rfced] For clarity, may this be rephrased? 
Specifically, may "for" be changed to "that of" in 
"the behaviour of the lookup URL is the same as for the search URL"?
Regarding "is the same as for the search URL as at the time when":
- The use of "as" twice in this phrase is unclear.
- "at the time when" is redundant. (Suggest removing "when".)
Please review whether the suggested text conveys the intended meaning.

Original:
   When using a link object for a single-result search, a server may
   replace a search URL with a lookup URL, because the behaviour of the
   lookup URL is the same as for the search URL as at the time when the
   response is generated.

Perhaps:
   When using a link object for a single-result search, a server may
   replace a search URL with a lookup URL, because the behaviour of the
   lookup URL is the same as that of the search URL at the time the
   response is generated.
-->


7) <!-- [rfced] FYI, we updated "Whois" to "WHOIS" (2 instances) to 
match the cited RFC - [RFC3912] - as well as usage in STD 95. Please
let us know if you prefer otherwise.
-->


8) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online 
Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>
and let us know if any changes are needed.  Updates of this nature typically
result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers.

For example, please consider whether the following should be updated: 
  whitespace

Thank you.

Instructions for Completing AUTH48

Your document has now entered AUTH48.  Once it has been reviewed and 
approved by you and all coauthors, it will be published as an RFC.  
If an author is no longer available, there are several remedies 
available as listed in the FAQ (https://www.rfc-editor.org/faq/).

You and you coauthors are responsible for engaging other parties 
(e.g., Contributors or Working Group) as necessary before providing 
your approval.

Planning your review 
---------------------

Please review the following aspects of your document:

*  RFC Editor questions

  Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC Editor 
  that have been included in the XML file as comments marked as 
  follows:

  <!-- [rfced] ... -->

  These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email.

*  Changes submitted by coauthors 

  Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your 
  coauthors.  We assume that if you do not speak up that you 
  agree to changes submitted by your coauthors.

*  Content 

  Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot 
  change once the RFC is published.  Please pay particular attention to:
  - IANA considerations updates (if applicable)
  - contact information
  - references

*  Copyright notices and legends

  Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in
  RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions 
  (TLP – https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info).

*  Semantic markup

  Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that elements of  
  content are correctly tagged.  For example, ensure that <sourcecode> 
  and <artwork> are set correctly.  See details at 
  <https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>.

*  Formatted output

  Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the 
  formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file, is 
  reasonable.  Please note that the TXT will have formatting 
  limitations compared to the PDF and HTML.


Submitting changes
------------------

To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’ as all 
the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties 
include:

  *  your coauthors

  *  [email protected] (the RPC team)

  *  other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., 
     IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the 
     responsible ADs, and the document shepherd).

  *  [email protected], which is a new archival mailing list 
     to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion 
     list:

    *  More info:
       
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc

    *  The archive itself:
       https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/

    *  Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out 
       of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter).
       If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you 
       have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, 
       [email protected] will be re-added to the CC list and 
       its addition will be noted at the top of the message. 

You may submit your changes in one of two ways:

An update to the provided XML file
— OR —
An explicit list of changes in this format

Section # (or indicate Global)

OLD:
old text

NEW:
new text

You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit 
list of changes, as either form is sufficient.

We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem
beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text, 
and technical changes.  Information about stream managers can be found in 
the FAQ.  Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.


Approving for publication
--------------------------

To approve your RFC for publication, please reply to this email stating
that you approve this RFC for publication.  Please use ‘REPLY ALL’,
as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your approval.
