[gnso-rds-pdp-purpose] Additional Information/question

[Carlton Samuels]

...and FWIW, the Review Team's final report was a very important substrate
upon which the EWG's work was advanced.

The EWG spent an inordinate amount of time resolving the question as to
whether there was a purposeful need for registration data and if so, what
should be collected, the standards for collection, how it should be curated
and the safeguards, why and how it should be published and the mechanisms
for publication.

I say again, it would be a sign of malignancy to embrace any attempt to
bounce the rubble here. If there is new and original insight of value to
the end game, let it be heard.

Otherwise, enough good minds and treasure are exhausted answering those
questions.

Lets get on with it.
