I've completed my review of this extension. A few comments:

"<whoisInf:flag>element MUST contain a boolean value of "1" or "true" to indicate that additional whois information is desired in the response or a value of "0" or "false" to indicate that no additional whois information is desired in the response."

One could also say "don't use this extension at all to indicate that you don't want additional WHOIS info.

Yes, you are correct, a better approach would have been to include an empty <whoisInf:whoisInf/> element as the marker to include the extension in the response, as opposed to using the <whoisInf:flag> boolean sub-element.  We started using the empty marker elements in later extensions.


<whoisInf:irisServer>OPTIONAL element element that contains the sponsoring Registrar's referral IRIS server name.

Is anyone anywhere running IRIS servers?

Jim, have you given any thought to the future of this extension in the context of RDAP development and eventual deployment?


No, I’m not aware of the use of IRIS anywhere, so this is a historic element that never actually got used.  I really have not considered how inclusion of RDAP would impact the registrar and registry EPP interface in support of transfers, but I and we should start to.  This extension was created based on feedback from registrars that they needed to query WHOIS in support of transfers, which made little sense since they have a trusted connection directly to the registry.  It would be interesting to see if other registries have created similar WHOIS extensions based on registrar feedback, and how a transition to RDAP should be handled.
