Stephanie Sorry, but policy + the technology go hand in hand. You cannot completely separate them and any policy that this (or any other) group produces needs to be technically possible to implement. As to the specifics .. I would argue that generated data is NOT collected, as it’s generated. If you register stephanieperrin.com with us the only elements we are “collecting” that end up in in the “thin” data are: the domain name string the nameservers you’re using (and if you don’t specify any we’ll use our own) All the other elements are NOT collected by the registrar or even the registry from the registrant, they are generated as part of the process of the domain being registered.

Your example proves my point. What you show below is a disclosure. It is a disclosure of a limited set of data. we are not supposed to be talking about disclosure at this point in our proceedings. I leave it to the experts on whether this is "thin" in the sense of the thick transition discussion, I really don't know because we are focused on gTLD policy here. My point is this is a disclosure. We do not "collect" thin data per se, we collect a whole mess of mandatory data elements, as per the RAA. Then we generate a whole mess as part of activating and making real the domain's existence. Then we share (release) a small subset. So talking about collecting thin data is misleading in my view. Purpose of disclosing it is what we are in fact talking about. Calling it a purpose for collection opens the barn door. Stephanie On 2017-01-25 06:46, Sam Lanfranco wrote: Thank you Michele, ( ignoring the spell check driven typo of "think" for "thick" (-: ).
