Re: [gnso-whoissurvey-dt] Reminder for questions

[Cintra Sooknanan <cintra.sooknanan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Please see below my first draft of questions to R3 and R4 for your kind
review and attention.

I am not sure about the level of depth we are required to go into with R4,
I do feel that perhaps we need to map the different error condition
scenarios and possible system responses in order to ensure that we cover
all the survey questions under this section.

Look forward to discussing further on today's call.

Best
