Classification: UNCLASSIFIED<br><br>Hi all,<br><br>I'm not going to oppose this, as its an important step in the right direction.<br><br>That said, I don't understand why it can't be for all gTLDs. Its just a search portal, isn't it? Why would it be a problem for this to be compehensive? Wouldn't a comprehensive portal be better for consumers, not only for ease of access to data, but if compehensive it would gain a reputation as a one-stop-shop and help to address the lack of awareness issue?<br><br>Am I missing something here?<br><br>Cheers, <br><br>Peter</font><br> <br>

I have worked with Michael and Omar on it, and would like to <BR>propose the following, narrower, recommendation:<BR><BR>===> Rec 14: To improve access to the WHOIS data of .COM and .NET <BR>gTLDs, the only remaining Thin Registries, ICANN should set up a <BR>dedicated, multilingual interface website to provide thick Whois data <BR>for them.<BR><BR>Here's the original text.<BR><BR>===> 14. To make WHOIS data more accessible for consumers, ICANN should set<BR>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.<BR><BR>Best,<BR>Kathy<BR><BR>-- <BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Rt4-whois mailing list<BR><a href="mailto:Rt4-whois@icann.org">Rt4-whois@icann.org</a><BR><a href="https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/rt4-whois">https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/rt4-whois</a><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></span>
