I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding people's positions on the issues associated with 
registering Internet-Drafts and non-IETF specifications in the EPP extension registry. I'm going to 
ask some basic questions that I'd like people to answer to help me understand where we agree and 
disagree. These questions have simple "yes" or "no" answers. As given 
information, we know that RFC 3688 prohibits registration of XML schema and namespace URIs where 
the associated specification isn't an RFC.

Should we allow registration of an active Internet-Draft on a provisional basis 
with the registered entity expected to be updated when the draft proceeds to 
RFC status?
Yes. I assume by that you mean that the namespace can be an IETF namespace and won't change after publication
Should we allow registration of an inactive or abandoned Internet-Draft knowing 
that the draft might not proceed to RFC status?

Yes

Should we require non-IETF EPP extensions to register their URIs using non-IETF 
namespaces?
No, however visibility of namespaces used through EPP repository would help transparency. External registration won't surface squatting on someone else's namespace or even whole URI.

There will be other things to consider once we have agreement on the answers to 
these questions.

Scott
