[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Proposal for the Transition of Existing Registrations from Thin to Thick

[Alexander Schwertner]

I am clearly in favor of option 2. It aligns with the scope of moving
data from registrars to registry without touching on accuracy or quality
as part of this exercise.

Thanks
Alex
