Re: [gnso-dow123] Test for inclusion of data in Whois output

[KathrynKL@xxxxxxx]

Jordyn:
I do not know if the tests make sense outside the context of a proposal.  If 
we talk about access and methods of access, then I think we talk about data, 
what is included, and how we test it.   For me, the issue is context -- what 
are we trying to do?  Then we can discuss tests.

Didn't you also suggest on the call we should move forward to a discussion of 
the oPOC proposal -- and our planned TF meeting in Marrakech?  I am 
particularly concerned about our meeting -- who, what, where and when.

Tx, Kathy
