I am not sure I want to express my views on this because I am probably quite 
extreme and often not in the consensus (but my opinion could probably be 
summarized as: interoperability in this WG for EPP should probably have a 
minimum bar of 2 registries and 2 registrars, each one connecting to the 2 
registries, and with every entity independent technically and administratively)

However, whatever comes out of this would be useful to capture into some generic
explanations so that the WG has (soft) rules, even maybe embodied in its 
charter,
or as an ID/RFC surely tied to RFC 7451, to be able to easily determine if a 
given submitted ID:
- should be considered as a WG document and the minimum set of criteria for that
- should be Standards, Informational or Experimental, and the criteria for each 
case.

I think by being clearer on this, it makes less confusion and future questions,
and enables one to make sure that the IETF is not just rubber stamping work 
being
done in reality outside it.

I quite remember having touched this subject in the past, already feeling the
split in views that may happen, as we see it now for that case.
If that path (working on defining some criteria to help in future cases) is of 
interest
to anybody and some work is started on it, I would be interested to join this 
effort.
