I'm a little worried that we might fall into a trap of focusing on
"ways to make email work" instead of realising that email no longer
fits into the registry model due to the growing need for all
transactions with the APNIC registry to be encrypted and authorised
using strong authentication methods with an immediate feedback cycle.
and other than the 'immediate' for which i am not sure i see the
absolute need, why is encrypted and signed email satisfactory?
I think it is worthwhile to also consider the improved workflows
that a XML/REST system provides. I see these workflows as a
prerequisite to the interactions that future registry functions
are going to need. Such future functions that centre around
resource certification.
uh, i am kinda involved in the resource cert stuff. and i see
no mandatory requirement to move to web only.
