[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy 2023-4: Modernization of Registration Requirements

[Andrew Dul]

If we are "modernizing" the language of this section that should include 
removing old and outdated terminology.  While the terms "WHOIS" and 
"SWIP" are popular in the community, they are protocols and methods 
which are being replaced by new modern protocols and methods.  The 
language should be updated to reflect those new terms or use generic 
terms such as directory services or registration records.

Thanks,

Andrew
