It’s not about the money, that’s a red-herring as is the subsequent thread on this point. The reasons given are clearly stated: <<This policy implementation improperly conflates the Consistent Labeling and Display (CL&D) Policy with ICANN’s request for registry operators to implement a new standard for registration data display. In addition, ICANN’s request to implement the new standard includes a requirement to adopt a staff-developed operational profile and an additional requirement that registry operators update their reporting to ICANN; neither of these requirements are permitted by ICANN’s agreements with affected registry operators. We therefore seek the following relief: ● All references to the implementation of the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) be removed from the CL&D Policy; and ● The requirements for registry operators to adopt ICANN’s operational profile and update their reporting be removed from ICANN’s request for implementation of RDAP.>> Jay -- Jay Daley Chief Executive NZRS Ltd desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
