Hi.
Finally catching up on the flood of email to the list this week I wanted to agree with Andrew here. It is long past time to move on from the thin data debate – from what I can tell the consensus is strong. So lets chalk that up as a win, add it to the list of preliminary conclusions and move forward.

Also +1000 that nobody needs faxes!

Yes. Also, I don't know why we have to have an opinion on what
registrars or registries must do overall. What we need to do, as far
as I can tell, is understand what the data is and what it is collected
for, and then propose a policy that makes it _possible_ for registrars
and registries to conform with their local laws. No?
It is very far from obvious to me, for instance, that the collection
of any of these items is ever going to be forbidden: it's all needed
for some operational purpose directly tied to the operation of the DNS
or the maintenance of domain name registrations. (Well, except maybe
fax numbers. Nobody needs those!)
But that someone collects the data is not a reason to suppose it must
be published for everyone, and that's why I'm so eager to move on from
the case of the thin data (which really is needed by anyone who wants
to troubleshoot domain name resolution issues on the Internet, which
effectively means "everyone connected").
Best regards,
A
