+1 Who benefits from the limitation to just .com &.net?

That said, I don't understand why it can't be for all gTLDs. Its just a search portal, isn't it? Why would it be a problem for this to be compehensive? Wouldn't a comprehensive portal be better for consumers, not only for ease of access to data, but if compehensive it would gain a reputation as a one-stop-shop and help to address the lack of awareness issue? Am I missing something here?

I have worked with Michael and Omar on it, and would like to propose the following, narrower, recommendation: ===> Rec 14: To improve access to the WHOIS data of .COM and .NET gTLDs, the only remaining Thin Registries, ICANN should set up a dedicated, multilingual interface website to provide thick Whois data for them. Here's the original text. ===> 14. To make WHOIS data more accessible for consumers, ICANN should set up a dedicated, multilingual interface website to allow "unrestricted and public access to accurate and complete WHOIS information". Such interface should provide thick WHOIS data for all gTLD domain names.
