Jody, I replied to Michael previously, but the intent of the "none" impact option is to cover the available use case for a system that is associated with the maintenance and doesn't imply the inclusion of systems that are not associated with the maintenance. In this case, the system under maintenance may not have any impact to availability, but there may be logic changes that the client needs to be aware of that is the purpose of the maintenance notification.

I tend to agree that adding "none" would require all systems of the registry to be listed for each maintenance. It seems that each system within the registry would need to be listed within the maintenance that are not affected by the maintenance such as the customer support phone system, SFTP or FTP service, marketing portals, reporting portals, customer service portals etc. I might be tying a little to much in here. Thoughts?

Shouldn't every system that is not included in the list automatically be not affected? 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> 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.
