Re: [regext] Proposed Revision to our Charter

2018-06-22 Thread James Galvin
There has not been any discussion regarding additional changes to our 
charter.  As a result the chairs are going to interpret silence as 
suggesting that folks are okay with the proposed revision.


In a separate thread we will start a 1 week working group last call on 
the revised charter.  We need to allow a few weeks for our Area Director 
to review the proposed charter with the IESG and hopefully get it 
approved so we can move on with new work at the next IETF meeting in 
Montreal.


Thanks,

Antoin and Jim

The working group may also, in consultation with its responsible area

The chairs and the Area Director agree with all the concerns stated.  
This is why the phrase “in consultation with its responsible area

Good Morning,



I was definitely not thinking of two working groups.



The focus of the WG is EPP and RDAP extensions. The additional 
suggested wording just adds on the ability to take on relevant (as 
determined by WG and AD) work (e.g. Third Party DNS Operator…). My 
suggestion was not to exclude, but to provide more focused wording. 
Maybe that wording is better, change the entire sentence to state: 
“The working group may also take on relevant (as determined by WG 
and AD) work, beyond the EPP and RDAP protocols.”




Andy, I think your original question that you posted earlier in the 
week is what needs to be answered first, paraphrasing “what is the 
motivation for this change”. Several others I think have basically 
asked the same question.




I don’t think I was the one asking for the charter change but here 
are my thoughts on why I see a change being beneficial.




To me this started with the proposed Third Party DNS Operator 
document. At one point the Charter was updated to add in this 
specific item (our current Charter). Then over the past year some 
discussions were had on standardizing the files that registries and 
registrars share (Unavailable Names, Non-Standard/Premium Domain 
Fees, Invoicing) which lead into the discussion of standardizing the 
storage of these files and other items (reporting comes to mind). 
Today different registries have different web portals and ftp sites 
to get this information from and different registrars request the 
information in different formats. Many registries and registrars have 
agreed that they would like to see a much better experience here. 
These topics do not fit into the EPP/RDAP focus of our current 
charter but the people with the most interest and expertise in these 
ideas are in this WG.






Thanks

Re: [regext] Proposed Revision to our Charter

2018-06-15 Thread Antoin Verschuren
Ok, perhaps some clarification.

The broadening of the charter is not to broaden the scope of EPP or RDAP.
Both EPP and RDAP have always been protocols to serve any "internet 
infrastructure identifier registry”, be it TLD’s RIR’s, ENUM registries, 
2nd/3th/4th/.. level domain registries, so currently basically domains or IP’s 
or anything that does something DNS, but we have never limited the protocols to 
be used by any other registry that could arise and saw it fit to use it for 
their provisioning.
We have chosen this term to avoid this working group to only think of policy 
limited gTLD’s as the only usage for EPP and RDAP, which is not true. ccTLD’s, 
sTLD’s, RIR’s and ENUM registries also use EPP and/or RDAP.

The only change to the charter is that we previously had only one permitted 
extra work item of the dns-operators draft beyond EPP and RDAP protocol work, 
because we had a long milestone list that our AD wanted us to do first before 
we took on new work items. Now that our milestone list shortens, we have more 
time to take on this additional work, but as the charter proposal says, it 
should be limited to work related to the provisioning of "internet 
infrastructure identifier registries” that use EPP or RDAP, and the extra 
limitation is our AD needs to approve the topic as being in scope.

I hope this helps, and if you have a better suggestion for scoping or wording, 
we’ll be happy to hear.
We have put this proposed charter out here for formal discusion on the 
mailinglist and we will also have an item on our agenda in Montreal to discuss.

Broadening the charter beyond EPP and RDAP would enable the WG to take on the 
file format drafts that relate to the domain industry and should involve the

Also, anything related to "Internet Identifier registries" is very
broad. Will we be taking on ENUM or URN work? The IANA runs several
internet identifier registries. Is their work now part?

I'm curious, what is the motivation to do this?

I tend to agree. This WG hasn't exactly been a paragon of broad engagement, so 
I'm a little concerned about expanding our scope into unidentified identifier 
registries without a better understanding of what that means.

I am sorry not to have been able to participate in the last two meetings, but I 
also find no discussion on the mailing-list about this, so can you provide more 
context?

Specifically because regarding the minutes of IETF 101 and 100 I see nothing 
about this in 101 and in 100 only:
"Discussion about broadening the charter to adopt other
"registration-related" documents, once the document "plate" is clean.
Before london, several documents should be off our WG, and we can
adopt more documents."

from one individual.

I feel missing quite a lot of pieces of the puzzle.

New work may be interesting, but one has to question first if this is really 
related to what we are already doing (what is the overlap?) and then if the 
group has enough resources to tackle more work when:
- we are late in our milestones, and not by little (almost one year for the fee 
extension, more than 6 months for the organization one, etc.0
- it is difficult to find shepherds for write-ups (I can testify :-))
- there are not so many individuals commenting/reviewing each draft on the 
list, so consensus is already quite hard to achieve.

My concern is that there is only a short sentence added to the current charter 
that does not give a lot of details about what we are speaking about here, 
especially since EPP and RDAP are detailed before in many sentences.

So, in short, I am uneasy to say anything because I lack both context and 
substance about what we are talking about.
Some examples of relevant work could also be useful.
