ICANN day 4
Issues. Whether one brings the interests of a registrar, or a registry, today was issues. I cover registries for CORE, and as at LA and Delhi I participated in this agenda. At the end of the day I'd a quarter of an hour scheduled in the registrar constituency meeting, where I talked about two technical issues. The first was the assumptions we had when drafting the Extensible Provisioning Protocol, a universe long past of six or so registries and sixty or so registrars -- an order of magnitude off on one axis, and in not very long, an order of magnitude off in the other axis as well. The second was the process consequence of having originated no technical requirements at all for a change in the mechanism currently used to present ASCII strings as non-ASCII characters.
Verisign, and in the registrar constituency, GoDaddy and Network Solutions, are the giants in the rooms.
