Title: Message
Ross, Jeff, Ram
et al
 
I was thinking that next week's call would be working call for TF; and the next week we'd have one our
"open" calls for comments/feedback, etc. as we did on WLS. Can you comment, please on your
views on whether you envision we can be prepared for an "open/comment" call?
 
regards, Marilyn

Ross,
 
Sorry I could not attend the call.
I think this is a good document.
 
The trouble I foresee is registrars not giving the authcode to registrants.
(in your "issues" section to be discussed next week)
 
A solution, which I believe .ca registry does (could be wrong on that though),
is for the registry to email the auth code to the registrant email address
directly on request from a registrar, as a back-up method if the losing registrar
is unable/does not give out the auth code to registrant.
 
One problem I see with this solution (unfortunately there is always
something it seems), is that if a badguy gets ahold of a domain name
that is used as part of the email address on a number of other names,
those other names could easily be hijacked.  Another problem is that it
makes the system less secure. It effectively turns the system security
into "mail-to/from".  Another problem is that
losing registrars will rely on this less-secure method and not implement anything.
But at least it puts pressure on losing registrars to implement something
otherwise, their registration base is at security risk.  The problem is the
registrars who do offer the authocode to registrants are also at risk.
 
The solution to *that* is maybe registrars could "opt out", if they attest
(or even they could be tested by the registry like when registrars are tested
before making registrations at a particular registry)
that they giveout the authcode to registrants via their registrar website.
 
 
thats all I could think of now.
Is the next week call scheduled?
 
feel free to post on TF list
 
Best,
 
Paul

Please find attached a copy of the presentation made this afternoon by the registry constituency during the transfers task for call that deals with some of the facts surrounding the implementation of auth-info codes in EPP based registries (thick and thin) as it relates to the transfers issue that the TF is dealing with.
 
If there are any questions or comments, I would be pleased to answer them or pass them back to the TF for commentary or inclusion in the record.
