Gurshabad,

Your proposed Privacy Considerations section and much of your proposed Human 
Rights Considerations section focuses on the interface of the VSP, which is 
out-of-scope for draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode.  The scope of 
draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode is on the structure of the digitally signed 
verification code, that represents proof of verification, and the interface 
between the client (registrar) and the server (registry) to pass the 
verification code.  The role of the VSP is defined, but the VSP interface and 
the concrete verifications is by design left out of 
draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode, and therefore is out-of-scope.  Niels 
support for inclusion based on “causation, and more specifically the priority 
events” is beyond the scope of draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode and is not 
applicable.  We need to ensure to keep the technical and considerations text 
strictly focused on the defined scope of the draft.

    Thanks for pointing that out. A better way to phrase my concern would
    have been that the extension's functioning is dependent on data being
    shared with the VSP. The draft does describe some (not all of the
    necessary) aspects of that data sharing.
    
    Agree that the text could have been more accurate in reflecting that.
    Changes are incorporated below (will review the HRC section again in
    this light as well); for now, hope this reads better:
    
    Privacy Considerations
    ----------------------
    The working of the described extension depends on the sharing of data of
    (or generated by) registrants with the Verification Service Provider
    (VSP), which is a third party. The specification leaves the scope of
    information shared with and stored by the VSP up to the policies of the
    locality. There may be no mechanisms for registrants to express
    preference for what information should shared with the VSP, in which
    case, registrants' sensitive personal information directly linked to the
    identities of the individual, such as contained in the contact mapping
    object, may be exposed to the VSP without user control. This personal
    information may be further correlated with other data sources available
    to the VSP.
    
    If a client seeks to implement or offer this extension, it MUST inform
    the registrant about about the exact information to be shared with the VSP.
