Registrars need to collect authoritative DNS servers from end consumers or it doesn't work. I never said RDS/Whois in that statement. If I buy a domain from GoDaddy and they don't collect auth nameservers and send it to the registry my domain will never ever resolve unless you think this group is empowered to rewrite the RFC completely on how DNS works.

For instance, if we don't make authoritative nameservers fully public without gates, we break the internet. I don't mean that as hyperbole, I mean no internet except for the savants who can us IP addresses for everything.
Not this again .... no matter how many times it's repeated it will always remain utter nonsense as a justification/use/need for rds....
WHOIS/RDS is *NOT* in anyway necessary for the 'functioning' of the internet, it is not how dns works, it is not how nameservers are found, it is not used at all in determining the authoritive nameservers.
IP to Domain, Domain to IP resolving will work just fine exactly as it does now if whois was just 'turned off' because it does not use whois.
