Ok, I hope everyone understands what this means in terms of code
changes.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In methods
3.2.2.4.1, 3.2.2.4.2, 3.2.2.4.3, b (2), you say that the CA
must verify that the WHOIS information for the Base Domain has
not changed since the CA performed the verification process. Is
this the WHOIS information record itself or should CAs be
looking for the Domain Contact to appear in the WHOIS record?
I'm asking because some WHOIS databases do not release Domain
Contact information and CAs require an official document from
the Domain Registrar that contains information about the domain
owner and contacts for the initial domain validation.<br>
<span style="color:windowtext">- Right now the time period in
that section specifies the Domain language 825 days so it’s
identical to the verification period. I put this in explicitly
in case we wanted to reduce the period to of WHOIS
re-confirmation to a lesser period (such as 90 days?). It
should have said WHOIS or Domain Registrar though instead of
just WHOIS. I also don’t mind dropping bullet point 2 if
everyone is opposed to a WHOIS/Domain Registrar refresh.</span></p>

No, I think checking for WHOIS change is fine if we agree on
checking just the WHOIS record. For the example below, the WHOIS
record itself does not reveal who the Domain Registrant is. It just
states the Domain Handle, Domain Identifier, dates and Registrar
info. If all this information remains the same, it is reasonable to
assume that the Registrant also remains the same. I don't know if my
description is fully captured in the currently proposed language.<br>

According to your proposal, CAs only need to check if the record
above has not changed?<br>
<span style="color:windowtext">- Yes. That is the point of
bullet point 2. To try and address issues where domain

</blockquote>
<br>
In this example, if the domain ownership changed, the dates would
change and probably the Domain Handle and "Protocol Number". That
should be enough to trigger a re-validation of the domain. The
"Expiration Date" should also be a blocker if the issuance date is
greater than the expiration date of the domain.<br>
