<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Hi Dennis,<br>
Maybe we are going the wrong way here and we mixing things.<br>
<br>
We discussed the alternative because it came up during a discussion within the RrSG. And I think Jennifer Gore mentioned this on the list.<br>
Now I think, but Chris Pelling can most likely bring some clarity here on why he proposed to use the RDE data for the migration, and I think but I am not sure, his reasoning was to speed things up. But I will let Chris weigh in on that one.<br>
<br>
But if that is the case and combine the fact that we also said not to use the RDE deposit approach as an alternative bulk method then we might want to backtrack on this alternative approach altogether.
<br>
<br>
I cannot come up with a good argument that justifies an alternative bulk method while the Registrar in question has to make the EPP modifications anyways (May 2018). But perhaps Jennifer can weigh in on this? I have a feeling that we are mixing a few conversations
 and emails into requirements for no good reason.<br>
