my understanding of the proposal for this temporary directory (to 
facilitate interoperability tests amongst national trials and across 
national borders) was that it is #1 clearly opt-in on the Tier1 level 
and #2 the data set is minimal. Especially no prejudice whatsoever shall 
be taken whether or how such a whois/directory service will be deployed 
on a permanent basis.

Maybe the proponents can comment here to gain back the original scope of 
the discussion?

Thanks & best,
