I'd strongly suggest to move to thin WHOIS approaches whererver possible. Thick WHOIS services requires privacy violations as well as violations of various local laws by transfering personal data outside of the jursidiction of the domain name holder.
I disagree strongly.
Thin WHOIS allows domain owners to hide from people who may have been harmed by actions on their site(s).
