What are the potential issues and how to anticipate them?" this I s a question they would like to have all parts of the community starting to consider. Another question is: o What is the view on the need for stronger protections against defensive registrations at the second level, and a shift to WHOIS data authentication at time of sdata submission? Thank you.
