Have we  concluded that outside of however we define Think Whois, no other fields will be part of the minimum public data set? If so, I didn't realize that. As an example, identifying the registrant country should be part of the minimum public data set. But I wouldn't necessarily think it needs to be implemented the same way. Maybe I too was confused over the use of our term 'Thin' as it's generally understood. Can someone help me to understand this?



Thanks

Jonathan Matkowsky

   The EWG defined a minimum public data set. This group may not like "minimum" but "public data set" seems less controversial?
