input on a draft WHOIS Technical Requirements Survey, to
assess the content of the survey before releasing it for
public solicitation. In parallel with the Public Comment
period, the Working Group is hosting two webinar sessions to
brief the community on the background of this effort and to
solicit input from experts on technical requirements for a new
WHOIS protocol, in particular people knowledgeable about
technical aspects of WHOIS who can help assess if the survey
asks the right questions and in the right style to elicit
useful and clear technical feedback. The Working Group seeks
specific suggestions on changes to language and questions that
will make it clearer for experts to complete.</span><span
