[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Proposal for Merging CL&D and Translation & Transliteration Implementation

[gtheo]

It might be something we want to try and combine some of these projects. 
Currently, there are too many ongoing WHOIS projects, finished and 
unfinished projects might indeed create overlap and overhead.

That being said, the T/T recommendations might not be everyone's cup of 
tea and there might be a risk we get stuck, would that delay the WHOIS 
migration? How do we handle such scenarios?

Furthermore do we currently have enough coverage member wise to handle 
this?

Thank you,

Theo Geurts
