Re: [sig-policy] prop-084: Frequent whois information update request
first of all thank you for your question.
My opinion is, that all whois data needs to be part of this policy!
Is it technically possible?
Could this policy be used to reduce the amount of historical resources?
If yes, this should be inserted as well!
How much historical resources are still existent today?
