<p>This is a link to the RDS PDP WG document that describes the approach the WG agreed upon <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_download_attachments_58730879_RDS-2DPDP-2DProposed-2DSummary-2DApproach.pdf&d=CwMBAg&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=u1EVRiHe_hJc7jxNs5HvrA_j6PFk6zDIgTHzeV5HW-I&s=2ky2gNfugoilw7hdnuB-Li1SPS7b_5IFQFq5Dm1QeEk&e=" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/58730879/RDS-PDP-Proposed-Summary-Approach.pdf</a> </p>
<p>Would any one like to volunteer to start collecting information on purpose of registration data? I am sure that the RDS PDP WG wiki has resources to start this collection and then we should think of what else should be included. Once we have started
collecting the information I think a sub team conference call to discuss what we are collecting would be helpful. </p>
<p>Any other ideas on how to approach our work? </p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt">Looking forward to the discussion. </span></p>
