Subject: Re: CVS specifics: Accreditation
I guess, if we implemented CVS with some initial supportive DNA sites,
we
would be able to help promote this sites and even encourage membership.
But I do see a need to offer more than one site, if only because one
site
is "less" expensive than the other.
I am confident that at least half a dozen registrars would offer the
direct-rating service.
Ok. One of the things I would have to work out when it comes to a "feature"
that has 3rd party or marketing tie-ins, is to see how it will be accepted
by the customer base. We got bit many years ago when tieing in one the
early Online Payment systems via a 3rd party VisaNet clearing house. A
combination of customer support disputes with the 3rd party vendor and their
eventual demise killed this "Online Subscriber/Billing/Reporting" add-on
product line. At this time, the number of payment services like this was
limited. Anywa, I try to limit and also make sure any tie-ins offerings is
first done with popular and reputable companies, especially it is going to
be a "natural" new feature added.
RBL is one area of optimization I would like to improve upon as it
represents a high percentage of the total validation transaction time.
If you agree a list of acceditation sites is needed, then this needs to
be optimized as well.
Does the proxy-lookup service I described satisfy this concern?
Yes, I believe it will.
Thanks
