I am completely againts such placeholders. While they are the easy fast solution, they just pollute databases with useless data. Instead of updating RFC5733 I would suggest creating a new object, a "light (or shallow) contact" which is like a contact currently, just with less fields. Domains could use "full contacts" (the ones we know today) or light contacts (the new ones). One has to keep remembering that EPP is not just used by gTLDs, so any change has to be done in such a way that it does not impact negatively any operation done outside of ICANN circles. -- Patrick Mevzek p...@dotandco.com _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
