Hi James,

honestly don't think that the "uid" field will ever get redacted, I mean, it's recommended to be an UUID and normally UUIDs are opaque. Both UUIDv3 (MD5) and UUIDv5 (SHA1) can be derived from a string (like for example the entity handle) so there is no need to generate and store a new value.  If it was optionally represented as an URI, a reasonable value could be the URL of the entity lookup whose response includes the contact card. Since the entity lookup is based on the entity handle value and such a value is a registry unique identifier, either in this case, the "uid" redaction seems very unlikely to me. Anyway, I can't completely exclude such a corner case. In the unlikely event that the "uid" field is redacted, I would process it in the same way as the jCard "fn" property.

Both of them are required text fields so don't see why they should be processed differently. In addition, there is a requirement from calext about keeping uid mandatory.


Best,

Mario

Mario,

I don't see any need to add a dependency between draft-ietf-regext-rdap-jscontact and 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-redacted, but this does add an interesting case for 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-redacted with redacting a required JSON member.  Do you see the 
requirement to be able to redact the required "uid" JSContact property?  If 
there is the need to redact it, then wouldn't that make the case for it not to be defined 
as mandatory in draft-ietf-calext-jscontact?  I'm not sure whether providing an empty 
value via the Redaction by Empty Value Method is any better than simply removing it via 
the Redaction by Removal Method.  We would need to first determine whether there is the 
need to cover the case of redacting a required JSON member in 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-redacted and if so how best to handle it.

Thanks,
