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

Wed May 16 16:47:32 UTC 2018

Hi All,

1. ICANN does not ‘want to pause’. ICANN is asking the community what they want to do. There is no secret motive nor any attempt to manipulate the situation. 

2. I accept that a heads up would have been appropriate.

3. Please let us try to concentrate on the actual issue rather than the minor irritants. In the same way as the RT has asked itself on a number of occasions whether it can usefully re-time its work, in the context of the community looking at all reviews and figuring out how best to manage them both from a resource and budget point of view, it would be odd not to ask the same question. 

4. My personal view is that we should continue. 

5. I recommend that the RT respond to the call for comment ASAP with a note acknowledging that we serve at the behest of the community, summarising where we are at with the work and our timing going forward and saying that the RT believes it should continue (assuming we do think that). 

Cheers,

Chris

But the really difficult part is that we are being told to keep on working (and I have confirmed that this is the intent) with a target of having a draft report complete just after the July F2F, and at THAT point, we may be told to scrap part of what we have been working on between now an then, or put the entire project on hold for some indeterminate time, and when it resumes it may be with a different team and much of the work will have to be redone.
