Thanks Russ, <br>
<br>
I didn't receive a whitelist request back in 2015, so I guess you
guys just went for it and we Registrars just allow a lot of requests
;) Just whitelisted the IP addresses, so good to go there. <br>
<br>
On a more serious note, I would be very cautious to use EU
registrant data to call and to email. There might be a chance that
EU Registrar - Registrant registration agreements do not cover the
pilot purposes. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
<br>

<div>Hi guys</div>
<div>All gTLDs. This is the same activity we have done 2x in
2015 for the WHOIS ARS project. The message is targeted to
registries / RSP as that is where we have had rate limit
issues in the past. But yes it would be helpful for the
registrars to whitelist these as well. For what its worth,
I believe ICANN had previously requested Registrars
whitelist these to support other WHOIS projects in the
recent past, but I could be wrong. </div>

Still need to know if we need to whitelist those IP
