[tech-whois] A follow up session in San Francisco?

[James M Galvin]

I'm not opposed to a follow up session in San Francisco but I'd like to 
have a more actionable goal for the meeting than "engage a discussion 
on the technical evolution of WHOIS".

One thing that was clear from our last meeting is somebody needs to 
"own" this work.  A generic meeting with a generic agenda is not making 
progress.  If this work is going to progress then from whom is there a 
formal mandate and what is it?

Without an actionable goal we're just using up meeting slots.

For one thing, let's be clear about whether we're talking about the 
Whois protocol, the Whois data model, or the Whois data representation.

Depending on the actionable goal, if we are going to have presentations 
by RWS and IRIS, perhaps a presentation by the IRD would be helpful 
since it will have something to say about future requirements for a 
replacement Whois data model.
