Neutral, slightly opposed. Don’t see the benefit and therefore question the value
of doing so.

Not entirely clear on the problem being solved or the benefit.

>     * 2017.3 - Allow Multiple Primary Billing Contacts

Confused. Multiple billing contacts makes sense to me. By definition, primary implies a singular value.

Neutral, but opposed to a fee increase to enable it.

Neutral to slightly opposed. Do not see sufficient benefit for expense.

Neutral to slightly opposed. Don’t see sufficient benefit vs. cost unless it
essentially comes automatically with RDAP. In reality, there will be plenty of
external RDAP Web-UIs created by third parties, so I don’t see much point here
unless it replaces Whois-RWS and/or Reg-RWS and those products are EOLd as a
result.
