Scott,
There are three use cases outlined in the draft where the “validatorID” may be used, which include: 1. Use in the <launch:code> to indicate to the server the Trademark Validator the code originated from that the server can use to verify against the third party (e.g., Trademark Validator). In this use case, the server would predefine the relationship with the supported set of Trademark Validator(s) that should generate codes that include the unique “validatorID” or reference what “validatorID” value to use that will provide a signal to the server of where to validate the code. I would envision the registry defining the supported set of Trademark Validators out-of-band, along with the unique “validatorID” values that must be used to support the “code” or “code with mark” Mark Validation Models. 2. Returning a <launch:claimKey> in a Claims Check Response with a “validatorID” that indicates which Trademark Validator to query for the Claims Notice Information. In this use case, the server would predefine the relationship with the supported set of Trademark Validator(s) that provide the claims notice information. I would envision the registry defining the supported set of Trademark Validators out-of-band, along with the unique “validatorID” values that will be returned in a Claims Check Response and the associated Trademark Validator information for retrieving the claims information. 3. Passing the <launch:noticeID> from the Trademark Validator with the Claims Create Form. This use case is directly related to #2, where the <launch:claimKey> “validatorID” value must be mirrored in the <launch:noticeID> of the Claims Create Form. Again, I would envision the registry defining the supported set of Trademark Validators out-of-band, along with the unique “validatorID” values that will be returned in a Claims Check Response and that must be passed in the <launch:noticeID> of the Claims Create Form. This comes down to a server deciding to setup or support a specific Trademark Validator for the “code” or “code and mark” validation models of the Sunrise Create Form, and/or for the handling of the “claims” phase (Claims Check and Claims Create Form). I recommend that text be added to section 2.2 that replaces the sentence “The list of validator identifiers and the relationship to issuer identifiers is out of scope for this document” to something directly related to the responsibilities of the server on the management of the Validator Identifiers. Something like “If the ICANN TMCH is not used or multiple Trademark Validators are used, the server MUST define the list of supported validator identifiers and where the validator identifiers are used to the clients.” I’m not sure whether out-of-band needs to be included, but the key is that the servers are responsible for managing the set of supported validator identifiers and that they make the information available to the clients.

Yes, if text is added to the draft to make it clear that these values are server-assigned I think the intent would be much clearer, but it still begs the question of how a client will be able to learn the set of valid values. How do you see that working? Scott
