Sorry if I’m coming a bit late to the party, but what exactly would flagging an RFC as “historic” actually do?
In the case of .us the RFC is referenced in multiple registration policies mostly in relation to the “locality” hierarchical concept that is peculiar to the .us ccTLD https://www.about.us/policies/ustld-locality-registrant-terms-and-conditions https://www.about.us/locality-structure https://www.about.us/policies/ustld-delegated-manager-agreement So if you are the registrant of $thing.us you aren’t impacted by the RFC explicitly these days, but if you are using one of the delegated ones you could be?

If the process of making the RFC historic means the registration process / holdership for the current registrants will change, or worse be suddenly pulled out from underneath them, then shouldn't they have a warning period that the entire .us structure is about to change how it's run? IE, "this is going historic in 5 years" seems safer to the current end-user registrants. -- Wes Hardaker _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
