[Sorry for the misattribution in the quoting -- the text/plain I'm responding to did not indicate any quoting at all and I'd probably mess it up if I tried to manually fix it]

To be clear, I'm solely commenting on the specific wording -- a "status set by the server" is a different meaning than a "server status". In the dumbest possible reading, the server sets the "ok" status at creation, and the exact proposed text could be read as denying the client from changing it. So, my point is just "be careful about the way you word it". -Benjamin > > > — > > JG > > > > > > > > James Gould > > Distinguished Engineer > > jgo...@verisign.com > > > > 703-948-3271 > > 12061 Bluemont Way > > Reston, VA 20190 > > > > Verisign.com <http://verisigninc.com/> > > > > On 10/31/18, 10:23 AM, "Benjamin Kaduk" <ka...@mit.edu> wrote: > > > > Trimming to just one potentially problematic suggestion... > > > > On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 10:25:42AM +0800, Linlin Zhou wrote: > > > > > > Linlin Zhou > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > DISCUSS: > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > [...] > > > [Linlin] Our proposal is to add the lead-in bolded text to match the > existing EPP RFC's to the Organization mapping.
