A possible issue one can infer from the outlined text is a future discussion
about what comprises what the draft calles "basic services": 
the means for resource holders to maintain the registry data relating 
to their resources; publication, of this data and the provisioning 
of relevant delegation records in the reverse DNS. 

Variances of this topic are already an occasional matter of RIPE mailing 
lists discussions.
