Re: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] key concepts: say "contact data" when that is what we mean

Can we imagine if this WG reported back to the world that we should no longer have WHOIS or any successor system?

Sounds like a perfectly valid final conclusion to me, if a _little_ unlikely.

That people would no longer even be able to look up what domains are registered and which are not?

What has the ability to look up what domains are registered (or not) got to do with RDS/WHOIS ? whois (or any replacement of it) is the wrong tool for that task Rob
