Re: [ire] Extended Verification Process - FQDN step

[James Mitchell <[e-mail]>]

Registries may have a reserved list that contains wild-card characters,
e.g. *profanity* (read: contains the term "profanity"). Assuming entries
to be domain names will either result in validation failures, or
registries will not escrow their reserved lists.

Regardless, I do not understand why I would escrow the reserved list
mandated by ICANN, or the reserved list at all for that matter. I thought
the purpose of escrow was to make sure that we don't lose registration
data (domains, hosts, contacts) and that a registry can be reconstituted
quickly - to an EBERO that cannot accept registrations and thus has no
need for a reserved names list.

Regards,
James
