Gurshabad, For the defined purpose of draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode, the VSP needs to be defined as an entity, but the VSP's verification process is not defined and is out-of-scope. The use of examples in an IETF draft does not classify as guidance. The only obligation of the VSP within

Hi all, I strongly support the inclusion of text in the draft. I think the differentiations that are being made here between 'technical' and 'policy', and 'technical' and 'judicial' here are merely rhetorical. No clear definition of the either terms and/or the difference have been offered thus
