I'd like to see handles for each...Regristrant, admin,
billing & technical. Having a username & pw to administer that info.
I'd like to be able to use the same handle for all, designating on a
per domain basis which is which.
It would be good if OpenSRS could assign these handles automagically
and then have a merge handles tool that would allow handles with the
same email address (and maybe other criteria) to be merged. That
would allow us to change the handles on records that we don't have
access to, further enhancing their usefulness.
It seems to me that admin & billing are as they should be, and
technical should be able to change ns info. I would think that most
customers already think that tech contacts can change this info.
I don't think it's at all important to sync to handles at other
registries. It doesn't seem to be worth all the trouble. And I'd worry
about the security of info at other registries!
