[Gnso-impl-thickwhois-rt] Thick Transition policy draft v5 for IRT review

[gtheo]

I am good with this Marc (like you need my blessing, lol).

Slightly different, this gives like 90 days of testing more or less. 
This is under normal circumstances enough. However, we might be dealing 
with some other ICANN-related stuff. So this 90 day period is going to 
be short actually.
This itself is no issue I suspect. But we are dealing with some rather 
old data, far older then .ORG ever faced.

When we migrated data over several new backends we had a plan B and C. 
Does Verisign have a plan B? Plan B in the sense we hit issues with on 
OTE that the IRT never anticipated.
As an IRT I think we covered a ton of stuff here, but there always edge 
cases and it is not up to us to discuss them or have solutions. But what 
are we gonna do with the edge cases and what if we do encounter a major 
problem the IRT did not anticipate?

Thanks!

Theo
