lang=EN-US>For the generic top-level domain (gTLD) registries, ICANN specifies
Whois service requirements through the registry agreements (ICANN 2009
Registry Agreements) and the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
Registries satisfy their Whois obligations using different services. The two
common models are often characterized as “thin” and “thick” Whois registries.
This distinction is based on how two distinct sets of data are managed. One
set of data is associated with the domain name, and a second set of data is
associated with the registrant of the domain name. A thin registry only stores
and manages the information associated with the domain name. This set includes
data sufficient to identify the sponsoring registrar, status of the
registration, creation and expiration dates for each registration, name server
data, the last time the record was updated in its Whois data store, and the
URL for the registrar’s Whois service. With thin registries, Registrars manage
the second set of data associated with the registrant of the domain and
provide it via their own Whois services, as required by Section 3.3 of the RAA
3.3 for those domains they sponsor. COM and NET are examples of thin
registries. Thick registries maintain and provide both sets of data (domain
name and registrant) via Whois. INFO and BIZ are examples of thick
registries.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

lang=EN-US>The GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on ‘thick’ Whois at its
meeting on 22 September 2011 noting that the Issue Report should ‘<I>not only
consider a possible requirement of 'thick' WHOIS for all incumbent gTLDs in
the context of IRTP, but should also consider any other positive and/or
negative effects that are likely to occur outside of IRTP that would need to
be taken into account when deciding whether a requirement of 'thick' WHOIS for
all incumbent gTLDs would be desirable or not’.</I><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

2012 (see </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><A

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'" lang=EN-US>) and in this report a
number of issues are outlined that will need further consideration should a
PDP proceed. The staff recommendation notes that staff has confirmed that the
proposed issues are within the scope of the ICANN policy process and the GNSO
and notes that it is reasonable from the staff’s perspective to expect that
further investigation of ‘thick’ Whois for all gTLDs would be beneficial to
the community generally, as it would allow for an informed decision by the
GNSO Council as to whether ‘thick’ Whois for all gTLDs should be required or
not.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
