Excellent pointer Frank... This effort at ICANN is specifically with=20
respect to requirements for DNS Whois, but it is possible that some of=20
these requirements are in common with those of the number resource Whois=20
directory service, and the Internet address community may be encouraged
at some point to give a similar level of consideration to the long-term=20
number resource Whois requirements, including the DNS result as one of=20
many inputs to that process.
Note that the comment period on the DNS Whois recommendations remains=20
open till 12 August 2013, and parties that have views on this matter
should make them known to the DNS directory services expert working=20
group which is drafting the recommendations.
FYI (and Thanks)!
