Greetings Team,
I am a Business Analyst at Namecheap Inc, a Domain Registrar.
We are currently working on the upgrade of our RDAP to the version 2024 and we
have questions about entities redaction. We reached ICANN, but they have
forwarded us to you. Hope you can help us with that:
1. We mainly use the redaction by ‘Replacement Value' method. We checked
that for the ‘Removal' method we can reference the whole object in the
'redacted' member if all fields of that object are removed (e.g. Tech contact).
Can we do the same for the ‘Replacement Value’ method or do we need to
reference each redacted field separately in the ‘redacted’ member?
2. Many child members of the ‘redacted’ member are marked as ‘optional’ in
the RFC9537
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9537.html#name-redaction-by-removal-method.
Is it totally up to us whether to include them or not, or do they become
obligatory on a certain condition?
In particular, we have doubts about ‘postPath’ and ‘method’ members when
using the ‘Replacement Value’ redaction method, but it would be best to know
the approach to all members.
3. In the ‘name’ member of the ‘redacted’ member, can we always use the
‘description’ field or is it a must to use the ‘type’ field for the registered
redacted names?
If the latter is the case, where do we find the ‘registered redacted
names’? Are those the Values in the Appendix E of the RDAP Response Profile
https://validator.rdap.org/specs/gtld/2024-02/rdap-response-profile-21feb24-en.pdf#page=16?
FYI We checked that we will have more contact sets/fields than covered in
the Appendix, and also such values as ‘Registrant contact’ to reference the
whole object are absent in it, that’s why we are wondering if we can always
stick to the ‘description’ field.
4. Do we get this right that we can choose either ‘type’ or ‘description’
field In the reason member of the ‘redacted’ member, or are they both required?
Where can we find the list of ‘registered redacted reasons’?
We saw Registries using ‘Server policy’ as a reason, is that okay to use
that by default?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
