Important question for the working group, does anyone object to this
document moving to working group last call?

Hi Jim and Antoin,
this mail is for asking your opinion about a significant change on
sorting-and-paging draft.
According to the last version, "totalCount" is a member of the
"paging_metadata" object. However, the counting capability might be
implemented by an RDAP server without implementing pagination as well.
Such field was originally put inside "paging_metadata" because, in
many REST API implementations, it pertains the pagination information.
In addition, by doing so, only two response extensions would have been
defined.
For the sake of clarity, the authors think that it would be better to
put "totalCount" outside "paging_metadata". Basically, this would mean
to define a new
rdapConformance tag (e.g. "count_level_0") and rename the field
accordingly (e.g. simply "count" or "count_all").
The chairs would prefer to evaluate the consensus of the working group.
We would prefer if folks who object to the choice you have made in the
document would please speak up on the mailing list and make a technical
argument against it.
Similarly, folks who support the choice you have made should speak up on
the list in response to any objection.
In authors' opinion, it might also be appropiate to rename the draft
to "counting-sorting-and-paging".
In general, it’s not necessary to rename a document.
Thanks,
Antoin and Jim
Even if the authors don't expect any relevant feedback since the
draft content would remain substantially the same, some time would be
needed for discussion before starting a last call.
Does it sound reasonable for you?
Many thanks in advance,
Mario.
