["Gould, James" <[e-mail]>]

Servers have the option to support unsupported clients already with the implementation of the Unhandled Namespaces RFC 9038 that I don’t believe needs to be covered in draft-ietf-regext-epp-eai.  The server cannot return the extension as is in the info response or a poll message to comply with EPP RFC 5730 for the non-supporting client.  The Unhandled Namespaces RFC 9038 provides the only compliant option to return additional information.  Considering the lack of contact transfers, the server will not likely include draft-ietf-regext-epp-eai as a use case to return additional information to a non-supporting client.

We discussed the case of non-supporting clients in EPP with the Change Poll Extension in RFC 8590 that led us to create the Unhandled Namespaces RFC 9038.

Speaking as a working group participant:

Sorry to be late to this specific discussion but I agree with Arnt and don’t believe any changes are necessary to the existing document.

At least among gTLDs, the contact objects are typically not transferred. Combine that with the fact that a registrant has gone to the new registrar and entered contact information directly. Thus, if the gaining registrar does not support EAI then the registrant has not entered that information and there is no conflict. In addition, this would apply to all information in the contact object so the additional email address is not special in this regard.

Since the base EPP does not make this point I don’t feel that we should make this point in this document. It might be an interesting comment to add to an update to EPP since it does apply generally, although I’m not convinced of that either; I’m suggesting we talk about it then.

[SAH] Give that reasoning, probably nothing. Maybe Joseph can add more.

It's a nice-to-have reminder, and as discussed, it's a MAY for registry to consider..  After all, this one contains an email address.
