i could not even get into the room.  the minutes say

  whois users RIRs, routing registries, domain registries, registrars
  #1 and #2 are close #3 is a bit different

actually, the whois port/protocol is used by all sorts of strange and arcane
uses by all sorts of folk.  imiho, we do not have the prerogative to break
their uses by a change to the base whois/43 protocol.

this is not to say that some group of applications of the whois protocol
could not agree to use it in a common way, essentially forming an overlay
protocol.
