Thanks to Elisa & Steve; AIM fully supports a move towards thick WHOIS.*** *
** **
On page 2, can we please add one bullet:****
** **
Requiring a ‘thick’ WHOIS would: ****
**• **improve response consistency,****
**• **improve stability,****
**• **improve access to WHOIS data, and****
**• **provide a more level playing field for competition between Registries.****
**• **enhance consumer/user protection****
** **
Rationale: we’re supposed to be ensuring that the DN system works for the benefit of users – not just registrars/registries. Consumers should have the right to know to whom they are giving their data, including credit card details.****
** **
Many thanks for considering the above,****
** **
Marie****

As we've discussed before, there's a PDP (Policy Development Process) underway to consider requiring thick Whois for *all* gTLD registries — including legacy TLDs such as com and net.****
** **
The Working Group published its Initial Report (here<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-initial-21jun13-en.pdf%20>), concluding there are more benefits than disadvantages to requiring thick Whois for all gTLD registries. The Working Group recommends that thick Whois services should "become a requirement for all gTLD registries, both existing and future."****
