The plan envisions fast update to zone files and Whois database, using the XML and high-performance server architecture. The process is based on sending smaller zone file updates more frequently to the name servers using a diff approach. The proposal envisions that the registry will contain the Whois database, but that the individual registrars will provide the front-end for access to the database so that they can brand it. The approach is based on an XML-defined approach that would become a standard. Other Comments .

NeuStar plans to utilize pre-registration mechanism to allow reservation of names with intellectual property implications. The technique allows interested parties the option of demarcating their potential intellectual property and then receiving notification of potential conflicts.
