COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the work put into this document. It is simple to read and appears
to address an important problem.

I have only one non blocking comment about section 4, is a "short" response
specified in other documents or should it be better described in this document ?

[ML] It should be defined in other documents.

Originally, based on the assumption that an RDAP response will match the corresponding WHOIS response provided by a given registration data discovery service, I had defined in draft-ietf-regext-rdap-partial-response-00 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-regext-rdap-partial-response/00/> a "short" response including those fields identified in RFC7485 as mostly supported.

However, the WG recommended to separate the technology from its operational aspects which are usually described in out-band documents (i.e. the so called "RDAP Profiles" like https://www.icann.org/gtld-rdap-profile) .

Anyway, It's reasonable to expect that the short response provided by the RDAP servers will be very similar for a couple of reasons:

- the set of most relevant information for each object class is well known as also demostrated by the analysis in RFC7485;

- the gTLDs are considerably more than the ccTLDs so a "short" response defined in the gTLD RDAP profile would become the reference one de-facto;

The "short" response provided by the .it RDAP public test server is decribed here <https://rdap.pubtest.nic.it/doc/README.html#partial-response-queries>.

Hope my answer could contribute to give you a more comprehensive overview of the rationale behind the document.

Best,

Mario

Regards
