Hi Scott or Richard,
I posted a withdraw of the objection last week, however I also received a
message back saying that it was not accepted and that a moderator would
have to approve it ? Its been more than 5 days now and it has not
appeared in the archive nor have I been sent a confirmation, could one of
you post it to the list so that it is not left as an open issue.
thanks
frank

Scott,
I have read your comments and I can see now that the current draft will
support both the NS delegation model and NAPTR delegation model with no
changes needed. If one chooses to use NS delegation, they simply do not
include the <e164...> extension and likewise if they choose to use NAPTR
delegation include the <e164...> extension. The grounds for my argument
were the result of the implementation I was asked to support which
included at the time <domain:ns>, <e164:naptr>, <e164:cname> and
<e164:dname>. Since <e164:cname> and <e164:dname> have no clear
direction in the context of this draft, the optional <e164:naptr>
support I was looking for can easily be found in the base epp
standard by default as <extension>'s are already optional.
Thank you for making what should have been an obvious observation clear in
your comment below, it became apparent as soon as I read your comment that
the current EPP and the E164 draft could work without modification.
Therefore, at this time I would like to formally withdraw the objection to
the draft, sorry for the confusion this may have caused and thanks for
taking the time to comment on my objection.
