[Rt4-whois] Technical Evolution of the Whois - now taking place

[Smith, Bill]

I'd be interested in any comments you might have regarding this session. It was on my list to attend but it unfortunately it overlapped with the IGF session, a session that was timely and of particular interest to me.

One comment I have is that *technical* evolution of the *protocol* should occur at the IETF. ICANN *might* be a place to gather requirements since it references WHOIS in its contracts but it certainly is not a place to develop any technical enhancements to an IETF  protocol.

That's a comment I would have made had I attended the session.
