Dear Vidushi,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm interested in working on WHOIS PDP. However, being part of SG3- PDP
subgroup as well, I remain confused about what exactly that group will do
if we are working on the PDP here. I understand the indivisibility of HRs
argument, but I think we need to clarify the scope of work to ensure
equitable distribution of work between the subgroups, and to avoid overlap.


Apologies if this was discussed in detail during the last call. I wasn't
able to attend but did go through the transcripts- I could be missing
something though.

Best,
Aarti
