<p>Dear NPOCers<br>
</p>
<p>Greetings and I hope this finds you well. <br>
</p>
<p>I am currently acting as the contact person between the Next
Generation RDS PDP working group and the NPOC membership. RDS is
standing for <b>Registration Directory Services </b>and
basically what the whole group is about is what will replace the
WHOIS we have today , meaning it is all about which registration
information will be required, requested, stored and maybe data
mined, from those registering a domain. As such this is a key part
to ensure the freedom of expression and security on the Internet.
As you see from the sentences before, the working group don't make
it easy to understand what is going on and that is something we
have to work hard in the future to change. <br>
</p>
<p>The working group has requested to pass on to you its second
outreach message. Basically, the working group is asking you all
what RDS requirements should be added to the requirements that are
already listed in the documents.</p>
<p>Please read the documents. If you have any questions, please
contact me, I will do my best to answer your questions as long as
you understand that I am often struggling with this. Nobody can
and has to be perfect, as long as we try our best.<b> If you have
any requirements that should be added, please send them to me
and I will send them to the working group. The working group is
asking for responses before the 28th of June</b><font size="+1">.</font></p>
<p>I know this is hard work, I know it is hard to understand, but I
know that it is important and I also know is that we have to start
somewhere. Take it as a learning opportunity. BTW, if you have
real problems with all the acronyms just enter ICANN plus the
acronym into a search engine and you more often then not get the
explanation right away.</p>
<p>Again, sorry if I request such a complicated task, but again, if
you have any questions, please ask.</p>
<p>Yours</p>
<p>Klaus<br>
