According to the proposal, for example, the registry data would be arbitrarily extensible by the registrars. This allows them to off load data storage and some integrity requirements to the registry. The basic implementation plan is to make the registry services more robust and the registrar services simpler. The plan envisions fast update to zone files and Whois database, using the XML and high-performance server architecture. Process is based on sending smaller zone file updates more frequently to the name servers using a diff approach.
Predicted demand is based on a model driven by survey results.
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. Approach is based on an XML defined approach that would become a standard. Other Comments . The proposal depends upon maintaining name translation table in RAM at each server. Although large, the size is manageable.
