The problem about asking this question is that to do so, we would first have to define the purpose of Whois and that is a bees nest because everyone only feels his part of the elephant in the darkness on that topic.
Not saying that we shouldn't do it anyway, but it would complicate our work significantly.

I am less sure than Carlton that we MUST discuss this. I have no problem with discussing whether the current WHOIS protocol is fit for purpose, but it better be a pretty short discussion! If anyone has a good argument why it IS fit for purpose, it should be shared pretty quickly.
The inability of a 7-bit protocol to handle today's IDN world, and the inability to handle any level of authorization/authentication/gating (which is generally understood to be necessary to allow critical information to be collected but not universally displayed in support of privacy legislation) makes the answer pretty clear. And as the charter Carlton points to indicates, this has been clear for quite some time.
This is a REVIEW team. I believe it is well beyond our scope to debate whether the current protocol can be modified to meet new needs, to specify or design a replacement or to review possible replacements. And I have little interest in debating whether any new protocol should be called WHOIS (pretending it is the same), WHOIS-Mark-2, RDAP, WEIRDS, WIERDS or Betelgeuse.

Dear All:
I believe this review will have to answer the question as to whether the current WHOIS protocol is fit to purpose in a evolved DNS environment in one or other job stream. Some may recall that the RDAP is being proposed as a fit and proper replacement.
You may wish for background to examine the IETF charters for Web Extensible Internet Registration Data Service (WEIRDS) from whence came RDAP.
