[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Search Engines Indexing RDAP Server Content

While RDAP is at this time off-topic to our work, I would like to add my 
2 cents (EUR).

It is problematic for ICANN to recommend the use of certain features 
without any policy to back up such use. Further, it is not helpful 
requiring contracted parties to implement features that may never come 
into use. Such implementation would be a complete waste of precious 
ressources.

Without the additional feratures however, the benefit to be gained by 
this implementation become slim to non-existant, throwing into question 
the need to implement this system at all, especially since it may 
ultimately be superseded by the work of this PDP.

The entire rush to implement the RDAP is ill-conceived and provides 
little to no benefits to the community. If it were to be required, it 
should be backed up by appropriate policy recommendations.

Best,

Volker
