Re: [ssac-gnso-irdwg] REMINDER FOR REVIEW: Draft Presentation for Cartagena

["James M. Galvin" <jgalvin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that where it's important to be talking about the WHOIS  
protocol we should say "WHOIS protocol".  For example, when we want to  
say that the WHOIS protocol is insufficient for the future needs of  
directory services, we should say that just as I did here.  Other than  
that, I think the recommendations should use the more generic  
vernacular primarily because if we want to improve discussion about  
this topic in general we have to get people to stop saying WHOIS.  We,  
at least, need to do our part to improve the dialogue.
