Dear Frank,
Thanks for keeping the WG active, brother!

<off_topic>
Cochairs, can we start quickly fifteen minutes
weekly meeting?

--we gather and we ask if there is a topic,
--if not, fine! then we end the meeting and
--come back the next week.
--cochairs can recall the topics they need
feedback/reaction/contribution on
--staff can share on their implementation's
challenges and ask for help/feedback
--agenda can be drafted beforehand
--focus can be defined on a couple of topics
--this is a personal brainstorming.

No! imho, i see less interest and not existing
documentation to support such a process.

Maybe you have more context to share, then i
need to figure it out. Do kindly provide more
element, for me to eventually reconsider my
actual PoV (Point of View).

Why? even more here. It's a "no" for me.
...as you shared, that "domain" class attribute
description; and i can add (if minimum is 2?):

cacty at shalom:~$ TZ='UTC' date --rfc-3339='seconds' && \
whois -h whois.afrinic.net -- -t domain | \
grep nserver \
# from AS15964 at Bhome
2026-02-19 23:59:22+00:00
nserver:        [mandatory]  [multiple]   [inverse key]
cacty at shalom:~$

Is there a persevered problem? please clarify,
to allow me to better understand, brother.

Thanks again.
Remain blessed; with all yours!

Shalom,
--sb.
