[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] ICANN Proposal to adjust scope of RDS-WHOIS2-RT

[Erika Mann]

Hi Alan, hi All - 
There's a complete reasoning for these 3 options included here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/specific-reviews-short-term-options-timeline-14may18-en.pdf

I'm traveling today with little time to think about these options. My understanding is that large part of our work, independently of the WHOIS model going to be selected in the future, is going to be relevant nonetheless. Insofar - currently! - I favor option a). 

Best,
Erika
