The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9083,
"JSON Responses for the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7093

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Scott Hollenbeck <shollenbeck@verisign.com>

Section: 4.1

Original Text
-------------
The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings,
each providing a hint as to the specifications used in the construction
of the response.

Corrected Text
--------------
The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings,
each identifying a registered specification used in the construction
of the response.


Notes
-----
The original text uses the word "hint", which some people have interpreted to mean "not normative" and/or "can be ignored". This misinterpretation will likely cause significant misunderstanding of the technical specification and might result in faulty implementations if not corrected. The intention and meaning of this sentence is more clearly specified with the corrected text, noting that the array of string identifiers is directly associated with the set of specifications used to construct an RDAP response.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
