Hi Emily,
As of this morning, there was considerable support for a rewording:
To improve access to the Whois data of .COM and .NET gTLDs, the only 
remaining Thin Registries, ICANN should set up a dedicated, multilingual 
interface website to provide thick WHOIS data for them.

And _no consensus _I could see on the other wording, namely:

14. To make WHOIS data more accessible for consumers, ICANN should set 
up a dedicated, multilingual interface website to allow  "unrestricted 
and public access to accurate and complete WHOIS information" by 
querying the appropriate servers, not copying the database.

and a different variation floating around:

To make WHOIS data more accessible for consumers, ICANN should set 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.


Note:  this is not one that arrived at consensus earlier, so this is 
minority report territory.
Tx,
Kathy
