Shouldn't every system that is not included in the list automatically be not affected? JG - The impact element is associated with the impact to availability. There may be a maintenance that includes logic changes on the backend and subsequently the <maint:intervention> <maint:implementation> element would be flagged as true, but there is no impact to the availability. If there is intermittent unavailability during the maintenance it would be "partial" or if there continual unavailability during the maintenance it would be "full", but how is a maintenance that doesn't impact availability get communicated? My recommendation is to add the option for the "none" impact to cover this use case. What would be the consequence of having "none" there? In my opinion this then requires the registry to list each system in every maintenance notification. Otherwise one might wonder what is the difference between, e.g., <maint:name>Whois</maint:name> <maint:host>whois.registry.example</maint:host> <maint:impact>none</maint:impact> JG - The intent of the "none" impact is not to specify what is not associated with the maintenance, but to reflect the availability impact to the system that is associated with the maintenance. If there is an EPP maintenance, the non-applicable systems for the maintenance are not included in the maintenance notification. and just omitting the Whois entry. I think in e-mails from the registry it can make sense to add something like "DNS is not affected by our maintenance" to put the reading registrar at ease, but in an automated notification I do not see the value. If it's not mentioned, it's not affected.
