Hi All, Tx for the many comments about the "centralized database" recommendation (now #14). 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. Best, Kathy --
