[DBWG] Possible solutions to the changed attribute issue

[Nishal Goburdhan]

dear wg chair, and afrinic team,
at the risk of repeating myself, this remains unanswered:

i recognise that there’s no defined process for changing this.  
(yet?).
i half-expected staff (aka this working group’s secretariat) to 
present a bullet point straw-man, which addresses the issues that have 
been presented (in this case, accurate information in whois), and 
potential solutions.  is this unreasonable?  should i be submitting a 
proposal a la rpd, and then trying to “defend” that at the next dbwg 
meeting?

i received reminders that the “AIS” event will be taking place 
online (virtual event) this year.  i did not see an announcement on this 
list, for a meeting of the dbwg, where, presumably, i expect you (chair 
and staff) to engage with us mere mortals on dbwg issues.

my apologies in advance if this message was caught up in the rest of the 
AIS clutter;  but i *did* check the archives too.  i’m really only 
interested in knowing :
# if there will be a virtual meeting of the dbwg, and
# when this is scheduled for, and
# how does one attend

and perhaps, since this is virtual, does it even have to be tied around 
AIS at all .. ?
