Hi Emily,
As of this morning, there was considerable support for a rewording:
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.
And no consensus I could see on the other wording, namely:
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" by querying the appropriate servers, not copying the
database.
and a different variation floating around:
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.
Note: this is not one that arrived at consensus earlier, so this
is minority report territory.
Tx,
Kathy
