Hi Francisco,

it is not as easy as you make it:

There does not have to be a date for registrars that have submitted all 
data to the newly thick registry. According to section 3.3.1 of the 2013 
RAA, the registrar can switch off its whois servers the second the 
registry becomes thick for the data relating to the domains registered 
through him. There is no "transition time" after the upload has 
completed and the registry has begun outputting whois for these domains 
on their end. So you will see a period where some registrars are still 
outputting their whois themselves while others will have already 
switched it off:
3.3.1 At its expense, Registrar shall provide an interactive web page 
and, *with respect to any **gTLD**operating a "thin" registry*, a port 
43 Whois service (each accessible via both IPv4 and IPv6) providing free 
public query-based access to up-to-date (i.e., updated at least daily) 
*data**concerning all active Registered Names sponsored by Registrar in 
any **gTLD*.

Was it now? Can you provide the exact reference to this agreement? I am 
not aware of this having passed the GNSO Council.

/What profile are you referring to here? The profile described in the 
RAA has no section 1.5.17.

Best,
Volker
