[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Open Items 3f/g - Contact validation rules

[Fabien Betremieux]

Dear IRT Members, 

I believe there was no subsequent discussion following the email from Theo
below.

Are other registrars sharing the concerns/proposals ?
Are registries in a position to respond to these ?

Thank you in advance for your discussion.

Best Regards
Fabien
