    I see the newly added normative references of [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] in -08.  Thanks for that.  The remaining simple edit would be to actually reference these somewhere in the text.  Right now these are just listed as references.

GL - I thought that I added the text in version 08, but it was not the case. Updated in version 09. See, https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-regext-data-escrow-09

    -08 cleaned this up.  Thank you.

    Understood.  Thanks for the edits in Section 11.  However, I was primarily looking for symmetry with the following text "As such, the registry transmitting the data to the escrow agent SHOULD take all the necessary precautions ..."  This text provides a normative SHOULD about transport security.  The text should provide a similar SHOULD about storing any confidential data in deposits in an encrypted format at rest.

GL - Updated in version 09. See, https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-regext-data-escrow-09

    Understood.  There is an expectation of a signaling protocol.  It might be worth mention that and noting that the associated details are out of scope.

GL - Updated in version 09. See, https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-regext-data-escrow-09
