My understanding is that the precise protocol used to register a new name has not been frozen yet. This issue can be addressed if CORE requires a non-repudiable transaction from a registrar in order to register a domain or to update its payment status.
And even if the IAHC were so foolish as to not consider this possibility they certainly did create a Policy Oversight Committee that can change procedures at any time.
The choice of data base technology for the shared repsoitories will be the choice of CORE, i.e., the registrars themselves. I believe it is a matter strictly of operational issues, rather than policy. I suppose one could imagine some bizarre decision by CORE which challenges policy issues, but I doubt it. Rick Wesson has organized a BOF for the Memphis IETF, to consider requirements and technical issues, all of which are intended to jump-start the background work for CORE. d/ ---------------------------- Dave Crocker, Director +1 408 246 8253 Internet Mail Consortium (f) +1 408 249 6205 127 Segre Place dcrocker@imc.org Santa Cruz, CA 95060 USA http://www.imc.org Also: IAHC member, expressing personal opinions http://www.iahc.org
