Re: [ssac-gnso-irdwg] IRD solution recommended by ICANN staff?

[Francisco Arias <francisco.arias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Steven,

You beat us on sending the email to let everyone know about it :-)

This draft roadmap is form implementing SSAC's SAC 051, which recommends
the replacement of the WHOIS protocol. The Board passed a resolution in
Dakar directing the production of this roadmap, which we just published in
draft (rough) form for community input.

Note that we are planning a session in Costa Rica. We are envisioning the
evolution of the roadmap document throughout two public comment periods
and be ready for Board/Community action by Prague meeting in June.

Your input is more than welcome:

Regards,

Francisco.
