[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] RDAP for Registration Data Service Upgrade?

[Stephanie Perrin]

As I said Alex, might be controversial:-) I actually think there are 
demands on the table for a level of accuracy/authenticity in WHOIS that 
don't match the original purpose.  I would be delighted to hear your 
views/high level technical and business details on this.  Perhaps at 
Helsinki, rather than bore the list with my questions....

cheers Stephanie
