My guess is that it would pretty much meet the needs of what's being
requested at the bottom line. I presume it includes all records of
transfers and not just the previous holder? That was strongly emphasised
as needs from operators in Japan.

(I did get a feedback that it would be nice to have a whowas equivalent
but I don't think people will be too picky about the format)

yes, that's the basic idea.

These information would help in being aware of the risks/the work it
takes when obtaining space.

A simple text log may be okay to start with, which I imagine wouldn't
add too much burden on the secretariat.
