Ballot Text

Technical Summary
 
This document describes an application layer client-server protocol
for a framework representing the query and result operations of
the administrative information services of Internet registries. 
Specified in XML, the protocol defines generic query and result operations 
and a mechanism for extending these operations for specific registry
service needs.
 
Working Group Summary
 
The working group went through an extensive requirements process and
had two competing proposals; this one and one based on LDAP.  The group
was able to come to consensus on this proposal, and there has been
no significant dissent on the shape of this proposal since the working group
decided on it as the way forward.
 
Protocol Quality
 
There is at least one implementation of the current specification.  The 
document
was reviewed during working group last call by the working group chairs, Dave 
Blacka, 
and Ted Hardie.
