[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [renamed] Key early questions

One small (but I think important) issue that has been bothering me 
since we started this WG.

When we talk about what data is being collected by registrars or 
registries, I think we need to be very careful in our wording. What 
we are interested in is what data is being collected (or should be 
collected in the future) MANDATED by ICANN agreements. What they 
collect on their own volition is not on our agenda (whether it is 
credit card information, your birth date so they can send you a 
gratuitous Happy Birthday wish, or your national identity number).
